George Springer hit a towering three-run homer with two out in the 13th inning to send the Astros to a 5-3 walk-off win over the Mariners on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park. Houston improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2001.
The homer came after the Mariners took the lead in the top of the inning on the strength of four consecutive walks to start the frame, including three by Jandel Gustave. Brad Peacock walked in the go-ahead run, but he recorded three outs for the win.
The Mariners’ Jean Segura broke a scoreless tie with a two-run homer to right field in the fifth inning off Charlie Morton to back six scoreless innings from starting pitcher James Paxton, who held the Astros to two hits and walked one batter while striking out five.
