It was the only the second extra inning victory for the Astros all year. Both times backup catcher and pinch-hitter extraordinaire Victor Caratini had the walkoff hit.
It’s the Astros’ third straight win and fifth in the last six games. But this one was one they won despite themselves.
It’s a familiar story this year.
No hitting with runners in scoring position.
Bullpen meltdowns.
The Astros were 1-10 with runners inn scoring position. But the one hit they got was the one that counted.
Nonetheless, the Astros held a 1-0 lead in the eighth inning (thanks to the third Breggie Bomb in two games).
