    A Monday game would be considered "game 163". Should be the same rules as September 1. Also, all stats count. For example, if Altuve gets 2 hits today and has 199 for the year and they have to play the Rangers tomorrow and he gets another hit - he officially has 200 for the season. That's how Niekro became a 20 game winner back in 1980.

    Thanks for the info. I did not realize that game 163 stats would count.

    They were close, but in the end they still got into the postseason!
