Astros reliever Phil Maton unraveled in the lone extra inning, as he walked Nationals'...
Houston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier prepares to face Washington Nationals Lane Thomas during the first inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Thursday, June 15, 2023 in Houston.Astros manager Dusty Baker on Thursday prior to his Minute Maid Park arrival sang along to a suddenly relevant tune in his still-vibrant life.
A few hours later the Astros began working on No. 40. Baker happily reached 74 on Thursday, but the Astros failed to reach 40 wins in 2023 following their 4-1, 10-inning loss to the Washington Nationals. The Astros dropped to 0-5 in extra-inning games this season, while the Nationals played in their first extra-inning game in 2023.
Keibert Ruiz’s solo home run in the ninth inning into the right-field stands off Astros closer Ryan Pressly scored the game’s first run. The Astros had scored at least five runs in four of their five previous games, but didn’t crack the scoreboard on Thursday until the ninth inning on Yainer Diaz’s two-out single up the middle that scored Kyle Tucker from second and shoved the game into its extra inning.
