Let's go ASTROS 🔥⚾ The Houston Astros defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Thursday in Game 2 of the ALDS. The best-of-five series now sees Houston lead 2-0.
Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez, right, celebrates his two-run home run against the Seattle Mariners with teammates during the sixth inning in Game 2 of an American League Division Series baseball game in Houston, Thursday, Oct. 13, 2022. – Yordan Alvarez and his mighty bat did it yet again, launching a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning off Seattle ace Luis Castillo that lifted the Houston Astros over the Mariners 4-2 on Thursday for a 2-0 lead in the AL Division Series.
But with two outs, Jeremy Peña singled on a blooper that fell in between second baseman Adam Frazier and center fielder Julio Rodríguez. Castillo bent down and slapped his legs in disappointment as he watched the ball drop in shallow center.
Ryan Pressly walked the leadoff batter in the ninth before J.P. Crawford lined into a double play. Rodríguez doubled after that, but Pressly struck out Ty France for the save. The Astros won despite issuing seven walks overall. The slugger who's been criticized for poor defense in the past has been making big plays in left field, too.

It wasn't that they made the playoffs — great story, but one that already had its grand finale. — and it wasn't that they got a great performance from bonafide ace Luis Castillo in Game 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays. That happens. Storming back from seven runs down to earn the sweep, though? Like that? OK it piqued some interest. And by the time they had dumped six runs on Houston Astros ace Justin 'gonna win the Cy Young at 39' Verlander? Yeah, it felt real. You were watching a date with destiny.
