Eyewitness Sports travels with the Astros to Seattle where the ballclub can clinch a spot in the AL Championship Series as early as Saturday with a win over the Mariners.The Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners were engaged in a pitchers' duel Saturday at T-Mobile Park.
The 18-inning game, which stretched six hours and 22 minutes, matches the longest postseason contest in MLB history. Neither gave up an inch. McCullers' six innings saw only two hits and two walks given up, with seven strikeouts.Both pitchers gave up only shallow or blooper singles. Kirby, though, faced an Astros' bases loaded situation in the fourth inning, when he hit two batters and gave up a hit to Kyle Tucker. The 'Stros stranded all three runners.
