Astros 1, Mariners 0: Houston wins epic Game 3 in 18 innings to sweep ALDS via houstonchron
— Alex Bregman's one-out single and a walk to Kyle Tucker puts runner on first and second for Houston in the 16th. Lefty reliever Matt Boyd is coming out for righty Penn Murfee to face Yuli Gurriel. Needless to say, another big spot in this game.— With one out in the top of the 16th inning, Alex Bregman singled into left field. It was Houston's first hit since Yuli Gurriel led off the ninth with a bloop single.
Someone will score a run at some point. But after the Astros went through another inning without one, both teams had combined for 27 strikeouts and 17 left on base.Brian T. Smith— Ryne Stanek will make his first appearance of the series after the Astros went down in order in the top of the 11th against Paul Sewald. The Mariners' bullpen has retired nine straight Houston hitters.— Neither team reached base in the 10th inning, hastening an 11th.
First team to score wins Game 3? It's an increasing possibility after eight innings of combined zeroes and 26 innings of a tight AL West battle in October. —— Rafael Montero stranded Julio Rodriguez on second base with a strikeout of Ty France, who spiked his helmet in frustration. It's on to the ninth inning tied at 0-0.
The initial two innings were rough for McCullers, but Seattle couldn't score. The fifth was tense with Julio Rodríguez, but McCullers turned an eight-pitch at-bat — with constant sliders that barely touched the strike zone — into another big out. McCullers is a much different pitcher than he was in 2015. Through five innings in Seattle, he's still putting up zeroes in the scoring column that matters and has done his part to sweep the Mariners. —— Lance McCullers Jr. gets a pivotal strikeout to end the fifth inning, getting Mariners rookie phenom to whiff on a full-count slider with a runner on first. It's still 0-0 going to the sixth inning.
