SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 15: Jeremy Pena #3 of the Houston Astros reacts with Jose Altuve #27 after hitting a solo home run during the eighteenth inning against the Seattle Mariners in game three of the American League Division Series at T-MobilSeattle MarinersThe victory gave Houston a 3-0 series sweep of the Mariners. The three games were decided by a total of four runs, but Seattle came out on the losing end of all three games.
The fans had been in a frenzy all afternoon. The atmosphere ramped up and boiled over as Félix Hernández was announced to throw out the ceremonial first pitch as he entered from center field to the music of Aloe Blacc's "The Man." McCullers was equally as dominant for Houston. McCullers allowed just two hits over six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts, three of which came against Rodríguez. Rodríguez struck out each time on McCullers' slider, which was responsible for 10 of Seattle's 12 swings and misses against the Houston starter.With two on and two outs in the fourth, Kirby was ruled to have hit Trey Mancini on an inside pitch by home plate umpire Marvin Hudson.
Kirby is just the second Mariner in postseason history to pitch seven innings without allowing a run, joining Luis Castillo in his Game 1 gem against the Toronto Blue Jays in last week's A.L. Wild Card. Kirby allowed six hits with five strikeouts and two hit batters. Eugenio Suárez singled to lead off the ninth for the Mariners. After a Cal Raleigh fielder's choice, Ryan Pressly hit Mitch Haniger to put the winning run in scoring position. But Pressley struck out Carlos Santana in a full count and got Adam Frazier to send the game to extra innings.
