Astros take advantage of Angels meltdown to score 4 runs in 9th inning for 6-4
win
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- LaMonte Wade Jr. drew a bases-loaded walk that forced
home the go-ahead run in a four-run ninth inning, and the Houston Astros came
back to beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-4 on Monday night.
The Astros rallied in their final at-bat on a hit, two walks, two errors and
two hit batters to hand the Angels their ninth loss this season when leading
after eight innings.
Houston trailed 4-0 after three, but Taylor Trammell homered for a second
straight game and the fifth time this season to cut it to 4-1 in the fourth.
Jeremy Pea doubled leading off the eighth against Ryan Zeferjahn, extending
his hitting streak to nine games. Yordan Alvarez hit an RBI single to make it
4-2.
Jos Fermin (3-2) hit Trammell with a pitch leading off the ninth. Christian
Walker singled and Trammell scored to make it 4-3 when second baseman Vaughn
Grissom let Lucas Spence's potential double-play grounder go through his legs
for a costly error.
Sam Bachman entered and got an out before walking Alvarez intentionally to load
the bases. Bachman grazed Isaac Paredes with a pitch to tie it, and Wade walked
to give Houston the lead. Alvarez scored the final run when Jose Altuve reached
on a fielding error by Bachman.
Tatsuya Imai didn't make it out of the first inning for the third time this
season in a start for Houston. He allowed a sacrifice fly to Nolan Schanuel and
an RBI single to Grissom before AJ Blubaugh came in to get the final out of the
inning.
Grissom hit his seventh homer --- off Blubaugh --- and Jo Adell blooped an RBI
double to make it 4-0 in the third.
Cristian Javier (1-1) followed Blubaugh and struck out seven over five shutout
innings for the win. Josh Hader walked two in the ninth before earning his 13th
save.
Angels starter Walbert Urea allowed a run on two hits in six innings and left
with a 4-1 lead. Fermin got one out and was charged with three runs --- one
earned.
