On Sunday afternoon, everyone did their part and the Astros got a 2-1 victory against the Mariners to avoid the sweep. Houston was lifted by a solid performance by starter Luis García, an outstanding job by their bullpen, and a clutch hit from Yordan Álvarez’s bat. An agonic, game-ending double play with bases loaded sealed things up for the Astros to become the second AL club to reach 30 wins in 2022.
Things began well for Houston on Sunday. García was dominating to a point in which he kept a no-hitter going until the first hitter of the sixth inning and Jeremy Peña put the Astros ahead in the score, thanks to a solo homer in the second for his eighth long ball of the campaign.
