But the instant classic did not fare in their favor as the Houston Astros advanced to their sixth straight American League Championship Series with their 1-0, 18-inning win, sweeping the Mariners in the best-of-five series.
There were just seven baserunners from the 10th to the 17th innings, but in the 18th, Jeremy Pena had had enough. He finally turned the scoreboard on with a leadoff homer, and that was all that was necessary.
Yuli Gurriel led off the ninth inning with a single off Diego Castillo, his third hit of the day. He then plunked his next batter in Aledmys Diaz, and a sac bunt put them both into scoring position.
