Jose Altuve and Christian Walker rally Astros to 5-4 win over Angels in 10
innings
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Jose Altuve scored the go-ahead run in the 10th inning
on a popout to shallow center field, and Houston Astros left fielder Brice
Matthews threw out Mike Trout at home plate in the bottom half to preserve a
5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.
Christian Walker hit an RBI single for Houston off Kirby Yates with one out in
the ninth, tying it 4-all.
Altuve began the 10th as the automatic runner at second base and moved to third
on Matthews' bunt single. Sam Aldegheri (1-1) struck out Cam Smith and got Jake
Meyers to pop out to a backpedaling Nick Madrigal behind second. Altuve tagged
up and took off, sliding in safely at the plate when catcher Logan O'Hoppe
couldn't come up with an in-between hop on Madrigal's throw home.
O'Hoppe was charged with an error on the play, and Meyers was not credited with
an RBI.
Trout started the bottom of the 10th as the automatic runner on second, but was
erased trying to score on a leadoff single by Jose Siri. Bryan Abreu then
struck out Jo Adell and retired Denzer Guzman on a liner to left for his fourth
save.
Josh Hader (1-0) struck out the side in the ninth for the win.
