Wow. Call me a pessimist. I thought for sure that after the Astros bullpen blew a 2-1 late lead, that the Astros were for sure headed for their fourth straight loss with the Seattle Mariners breathing down their back.
But for the first time in a while, they took back the lead with some late-inning heroics, and the Astros head to California with their AL West lead of 3.5 games intact as the season draws ever closer to its conclusion.
The Astros took the early lead when Dodger outcast and one of the newest Astros, Jason Heyward, put the Astros on the board first with a two run homer on an 0-2, low-outside curve to give the Stros a 2-0 lead after two.
