The Astros scored four runs in the 9th inning to find a way to win against the Orioles on Saturday.
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - SEPTEMBER 24: The Houston Astros celebrate after a 11-10 victory against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on September 24, 2022 in Baltimore, Maryland. BALTIMORE — The problem with streaks is that they have to die sometime.
“That was like a heavyweight boxing match and nobody was gonna give up,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “That was a strange game, but it was a hard-fought game.”The Astros are the first club in American League history to reach 100 wins four times in the span of five full seasons, per Elias, and are seven wins from tying the single-season franchise record set in 2019.
Runners remained on the corners for Kyle Tucker, who had struck out against Bautista the inning prior. Tucker ripped an RBI double to right field, eliciting a collective gasp from the crowd and knotting the score 9-9. Tucker’s hit chased Bautista off the mound. Jake Reed replaced him and Yuli Gurriel delivered a routine ground ball through the right side of the infield. It was enough for two runs to score, capping an offensive explosion the Astros had sorely lacked the previous two days.
The Astros southpaw entered the game with an opportunity to earn his 26th quality start and tie Bob Gibson and Jacob deGrom, who each achieved that result over multiple seasons. A hodgepodge of weak hits and home runs jeopardized Valdez’s chance four innings into the game. A one-out RBI single in the sixth inning terminated it along with his outing, but was far from the curtain call on a dramatic affair at Camden Yards.
No Astro had scored or even reached third base in the series before Altuve’s two-run bomb followed Mauricio Dubón’s leadoff single and gave Houston a 2-0 lead. The advantage did not last long.
