Houston Astros Jose Siri, left, scores on a base hit by Michael Brantley during the ninth inning of a baseball game, Tuesday, April 12, 2022, in Phoenix as Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Jose Herrera, right, waits for the throw. PHOENIX — Brent Strom shuffled to the mound and surveyed a situation he’d seen before but never had to stop. An aggressive Astros lineup threatened to take a game away.
Houston won 2-1, overcoming another anemic offensive showing and rewarding remarkable work by its pitching staff. The team stranded 10 baserunners and, before Brantley’s single, was 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Bumgarner made one blatant mistake. Jose Siri made him rue it. The Astros’ energetic center fielder crushed Bumgarner’s hanging curveball for a 456-foot solo home run in the fifth, finishing the swing with a bat flip and a stutter step before he jogged up the first-base line. Siri started the ninth-inning rally with a two-out double, too.
