HOUSTON (Interstat) — Bryan Abreu pitched a scoreless 10th inning and the Houston Astros rallied for a 4-3 walk-off victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night at Daikin Park, snapping a three-game losing streak and avoiding a series sweep.

The Astros trailed 3-0 after six innings before scoring two runs in the sixth, tying the game with one in the eighth and winning it on Zach Cole’s RBI single with one out in the 10th. Houston improved to 17-27 while Seattle dropped to 21-23.

Seattle grabbed an early lead when J.P. Crawford led off the game with a home run to right field, his fifth of the season. The Mariners had two more hits in the inning — a single by Josh Naylor — but Cal Raleigh grounded into a double play to end the threat.

The Mariners extended their lead to 2-0 in the sixth inning when Luke Raley led off with a solo home run to left field, his ninth of the year. It came off Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti, who had kept Seattle in check after the first inning.

Houston answered in the bottom of the sixth against Mariners starter Nick Davila. Christian Walker led off with a solo home run to right, his 10th of the season, cutting the lead to 2-1. Braden Shewmake followed with a single, Brice Matthews singled, and Cole singled to load the bases. Christian Vázquez flew out to center for the second out, but Jose Altuve drew a walk to force in Shewmake, making it 2-2. Yordan Alvarez grounded into a forceout to end the inning, but the Astros had tied the game.

Seattle reclaimed the lead in the top of the ninth against Astros reliever Bryan King. Rob Refsnyder walked to lead off the inning, and after Cole Young flew out, Mitch Garver walked. Crawford then singled to load the bases, and Julio Rodríguez walked to force in Refsnyder, giving Seattle a 3-2 lead. Josh Naylor grounded out to end the inning, stranding three runners.

The Astros tied the game again in the bottom of the eighth against Eduard Bazardo. Shewmake led off with a single that deflected off second baseman Cole Young. Matthews reached on a fielder’s choice, with Shewmake advancing to third on a throwing error by Bazardo. Cole was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Vázquez grounded into a forceout at home, but Altuve followed with a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Matthews to tie the game 3-3. Alvarez walked, but Isaac Paredes popped out to end the inning.

In the 10th, Mariners reliever Alex Hoppe took over. With the automatic runner at second base, Matthews began the inning at second. Cole singled to right field off Hoppe, driving in Matthews with the winning run. Hoppe took the loss, falling to 0-1, while Abreu earned his second win against two losses.

The game featured 12 hits by the Astros and eight by the Mariners. Both teams had opportunities but left runners in scoring position. Seattle stranded eight runners while Houston left nine on base.

Seattle had won the first two games of the series, taking Monday’s contest 3-1 and Tuesday’s 10-2. The Mariners had also taken four of the six head-to-head meetings this season entering Wednesday, including a three-game sweep at home in April. Houston had lost five of its last six games overall coming into the night, while Seattle had won three of its previous four.

Wednesday’s attendance was 27,540, with the game lasting 3 hours, 25 minutes.

The Astros’ Christian Walker finished with two hits, including his 10th home run. Zach Cole had three hits and drove in the winning run. For the Mariners, J.P. Crawford homered and singled, and Luke Raley homered. Josh Naylor singled and walked.

Seattle’s pitching staff held Houston scoreless through five innings before the Astros broke through in the sixth. Nick Davila allowed two runs on six hits over five innings, striking out three and walking one. Eduard Bazardo allowed one unearned run in one inning of relief.

Houston’s bullpen combined for four innings of one-run ball, with Abreu working the 10th. King allowed the go-ahead run in the ninth but the Astros tied it in the bottom half.

The Mariners have a chance to win the series in Thursday’s finale, while the Astros look to salvage a split of the four-game set.
