HOUSTON — José Abreu scored on catcher Keibert Ruiz’s throwing error in a wild ninth inning to give the Houston Astros a 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night.
C.J. Abrams threw home to get the second out, but Ruiz’s throw to first went off Meyers’ helmet and allowed Abreu to score. The Nationals argued the final play with the umpires, but to no avail. After Keibert Ruiz grounded out, Ildemaro Vargas grounded to the pitcher, but Pressly threw wide to home, allowing Dickerson to score. Dominic Smith tied it at 4 with an RBI triple, but Pressly recovered to get two groundouts to end the inning and keep it tied.
Framber Valdez allowed one run on five hits with six strikeouts in seven innnings. He lowered his ERA to 2.27. Valdez has allowed one run or fewer in four of his last five starts.
