Astros Edge Mariners 2-1 in 12-Inning Thriller

In a tightly contested game, the Houston Astros edged the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in 12 innings, thanks to Victor Caratini's clutch RBI single. The game remained scoreless for the first six innings, with both starting pitchers, Framber Valdez and Luis Castillo, delivering strong performances. The Astros took a 1-0 lead in the seventh, but the Mariners responded to tie the game before the Astros capitalized on a sacrifice bunt in the 12th. Despite leaving 10 men on base and going 1-for-19 with runners in scoring position, the Mariners had opportunities to win, including a missed chance in the 11th inning. Houston's bullpen shone with 11 strikeouts and limited Seattle to just five hits. The win allowed the Astros to potentially clinch the series in their next matchup.
