ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Even with a batting championship practically secured, Jose Altuve will have to attend to some unfinished business when the Houston Astros end the season Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium.Altuve, who owns a .338 average, also has a chance to finish as the American League leader in hits. The Venezuelan second baseman will enter the game with 215, one more than Mookie Betts of the Boston Red Sox.Hes got some goals in mind that hes not yet accomplished, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. He sees all sorts of numbers that he could get and make a special year even more special. When Altuve is zeroing in on things, he rarely gets denied. It wouldnt surprise me if he has a good day.Altuve said he is way different as a hitter this year than when he won his first batting title in 2014. Two years ago, Altuve finished with just seven home runs and 59 RBI. But with one game left this year, the infielder already has career highs of 24 homers and 96 RBI.Im trying to do damage at the plate, Altuve said. Before, I knew if I hit a weak ground ball, I could be safe. Then I understood that if you hit a double or drive in a run, its better than hitting a single. Im not trying to hit a home run every time. Im trying to look for my pitch and put a good swing on the ball.When Altuve won his last batting championship, he served primarily as a leadoff hitter. This season, he has batted mostly third.Hes done a great job of being a complete hitter this year wherever Ive put him, Hinch said. Hes taken it personally to improve his plate discipline.Altuve will face right-hander Jhoulys Chacin in Sundays finale. Chacin replaced right-hander Jered Weaver, who was scheduled to start on his normal turn in the rotation. But Weaver experienced tightness in his lower back during his last start Monday night, and felt stiff during a bullpen session Friday.Regardless, Weaver faces an uncertain future after Sunday. The 11-year veteran, who turns 34 on Tuesday, will be a free agent after spending his entire career with the Angels. Weaver will finish this season with career highs in earned-run average and home runs allowed after fighting nagging injuries and declining velocity for the past three years.Its a weird feeling, Weaver said about the uncertainty. Ive been here for 11 years. Its all Ive known.The possibility that his last start Monday night might his last with the Angels made Weaver wistful.I was telling a couple of guys that I was a little emotional coming down the tunnel here, Weaver said Monday night. I tried to say Hi to as many workers as I could.Meanwhile, right-hander Brady Rodgers will make his first major-league start for the Astros. Rodgers was named the Pacific Coast Leagues pitcher of the year and the Astros minor-league pitcher of the year after going 12-4 with a 2.86 ERA at Triple-AFresno.But since being promoted Sept. 2, Rodgers has allowed 10 runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings covering four relief appearances.

Cheap Swingman Mavericks Jerseys . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. A rare Pablo Zabaleta strike set Manchester City on their way to their first home win in almost three months, 2-0 against Watford at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.Watford started the game fairly defensively, hoping to utilise the pace of Jerome Sinclair against a leaky defence, and despite relinquishing most of the possession, they limited City to few chances for most of the opening period. They lost Roberto Pereyra on the half hour mark to injury, and just three minutes later they were behind. Zabaleta, afforded some freedom to attack by the deep-lying Yaya Toure, bombed forward and was completely unmarked at the far post to finish off Kevin De Bruynes excellent cross.Worryingly for City fans, Ilkay Gundogan also picked up a knock in the first half and had to be replaced, which combined with a number of niggly fouls affected the flow of the game and left you wanting more at the break.The second half waas better as Watford started to open up a little, especially with the introduction of a lively Isaac Success, and probably should have equalised through Odion Ighalo.dddddddddddd But it was this adventure that ultimately proved their downfall, as they got caught in possession in the middle of the park, leaving them too light at the back. There are few better players you would want on a break than Raheem Sterling and David Silva, and they combined to allow the latter to finish smartly past Heurelho Gomes with just four minutes to go, effectively ending the match.Manchester City needed a win after some below-par performances, and Pep Guardiola will be pleased his side managed to end their losing streak at home and secure a clean sheet. Arsenal up next for the title challengers. ' ' '
