Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India reacts to hitting a solo home run during the top eighth inning of the MLB game against the Houston Astros on Sunday, June 18, at Minute Maid Park, 2023 in Houston.An Astros rout in the making instead withered into a 9-7 loss in the 10th inning and handed the Reds a three-game sweep in Sunday’s series finale at Minute Maid Park.

Sunday marked the fourth consecutive loss for Houston, which is 0-for-6 in extra inning games this season. Cincinnati, however, built its momentum earlier in the game. Although the Astros secured the second out on the next at-bat when Jake Fraley singled in a run but was thrown out trying to stretch his hit into a double, any relief was short lived. On Blanco’s 94th pitch, Spencer Steer hammered a first-pitch fastball for a game-tying two-run homer and Astros manager Dusty Baker came out to take the baseball from Blanco.
