HOUSTON (AP) --- Christian Walker's three-run home run with two outs in the
10th inning lifted the Houston Astros to a 10-7 win over the Seattle Mariners
on Friday night.
Yordan Alvarez hit a solo shot, his AL-leading 36th of the season, in the
first. Isaac Paredes had two hits and drove in three runs.
The Mariners scored two runs in the top of the 10th before an RBI single by
Paredes cut the lead to 7-6. Jose Altuve singled with two outs before Daulton
Varsho drove in a run with single.
Walker then sent an off-speed pitch from Andrs Muoz (5-5) to the train tracks
atop left field to give the Astros the win.
Victor Robles had three hits and drove in two runs. His RBI triple off Enyel De
Los Santos (2-3) to start the 10th put the Mariners on top.
Brock Rodden added a run with a sacrifice fly. The 26-year old, who made his
MLB debut, hit an RBI ground-rule double for his first career hit in Seattle's
two-run eighth.
Walker singled with two out in the second before Cam Smith tripled to make it
2-2.
Christian Vzquez walked before Jeremy Pea's single scored Smith to put
Houston on top 3-2. George Kirby intentionally walked Alvarez to load the bases
before an infield single by Paredes scored two more to make it 5-2.
