Astros get 2
HOUSTON (AP) — Victor Caratini hit an RBI single in the 10th inning to lift Houston to a 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night after the Astros lost their starting pitcher when Ronel Blanco was ejected following a foreign substance check.
The game was tied at 1 when pinch-runner Trey Cabbage replaced Jon Singleton as the automatic runner on second in the 10th. Cabbage moved to third on a flyball by Jake Meyers before Caratini hit a grounder to center off Michael Kelly (2-1) to give the Astros their fifth win in six games.
“The bullpen did a great job,” manager Joe Espada said. “That was a big win. We didn’t want to get Blanco out of the game in that way but the bullpen came in and did a tremendous job and that was a big team win.”
Espada raved about the poise of Caratini, who hit a game-ending homer as a pinch hitter on April 30.
