Altuve Ejected, Astros Win Dramatic Game 4-3

The Houston Astros secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in 10 innings, highlighted by Jose Altuve's unusual ejection in the ninth inning for removing his shoe and sock to show umpires a mark on his foot, claiming he had fouled the ball off his foot, which the umpire had ruled fair. Manager Joe Espada was also ejected for arguing the call. Despite the ejections, replacement Grae Kessinger scored the go-ahead run in the 10th inning on a Kyle Tucker RBI single. Hector Neris closed the game in the bottom of the 10th, securing the win for the Astros. Altuve's controversial ejection marks the second time this season he has been thrown out for the same reason.
