To bottom of the 9th, Astros cling to a 5-3 lead.
There were zero reasons to not.
Hader will try to close it out, facing 3-4-5

Outhit them 14-3 and it was a close game.
Mariners getting punked by the Strangers. 3-0 in 7th
Alls well that ends well. Pound that old Japanese whisky
I really hope they attempt to reach a deal with Kikuchi this off-season or sooner. He’s a natural fit for this team.

Jesus Fucking Christ.
Yep. That’s the type of comeback victory that can send a team on a streak. Obviously hoping I’m wrong.
5000th win for the Astros franchise!

Well, that’s cool.
Second expansion team to reach 5,000. Angels were the first earlier this season, they had a whole year head start. The Rangers also had a year head start and are still nearly 200 wins behind

This is also cool.
I thought so, but I looked it up to be sure. The Astros are the only expansion team with an overall winning record(40 games over .500). In fact, only 12 teams have a winning record in their history and the Astros are one of them.
Yankees, Giants, Dodgers, Cardinals, Red Sox, Cubs, Cleveland, Reds, Braves, Tigers, Astros and Pirates all have winning records.
