Jeremy Peña hits go-ahead single, Isaac Paredes 2-run double in 10th as Astros rally past Giants 6-3

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jeremy Peña hit a go-ahead single with none out in the 10th, Isaac Paredes added a two-run double one out later and the Houston Astros rallied for a 6-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

LaMonte Wade Jr. led off the 10th with Cam Smith on second as the automatic runner, and Smith moved to third on a wild pitch by Jason Foley (0-1).

Josh Hader (4-1) pitched two perfect innings for the win.

Smith hit a tying RBI single with two outs in the ninth against closer Dylan Smith after connecting for his 16th home run in the seventh.

Drew Gilbert hit a go-ahead home run in the bottom of the seventh after an earlier sacrifice fly and Jung Hoo Lee connected in the fifth, but the Giants blew it.

San Francisco starter Blade Tidwell struck out six and walked one over 5 2/3 innings. He allowed one run on four hits but missed out on his second career win.

Jose Altuve put the Astros ahead on a sacrifice fly in the first. Yordan Alvarez hit a one-out double that Lee tried to catch after running backward and leaping, then Paredes' bloop single put Alvarez in scoring position.

Smith finished with three hits for Houston, which had lost two straight and three of four arriving to Oracle Park for the first time in more than two years. The Astros are 24-15 over their last five road trips and 30-21 since beginning the year 1-9 away from home.

The Giants announced before the game that third baseman Matt Chapman would undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday for a core muscle injury after the five-time Gold Glove infielder was examined Monday in Philadelphia.

RHP Hunter Brown (3-1, 3.53 ERA) was set to pitch the middle game of the series for the Astros, while the Giants hadn't named their starter.

TORONTO (AP) — Anthony Seigler scored from third base on a sacrifice fly Monday night — without ever tagging up on an inning-ending play.

Needless to say, that left everyone in Toronto a little confused.

Seigler scored Boston's only run in a 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays on a chaotic double play that resulted in a 17-minute delay trying to sort out the whole thing.

“We kind of got a break there,” Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said.

While there was only one out when Ceddanne Rafaela hit a flyball to center field in the seventh, the scoreboard showed two outs. The ball was still in the air when Seigler headed toward the plate and Nick Sogard took off from first base.

When the ball was caught and the Blue Jays eventually tossed it to first to double up Sogard, that was the third out and it appeared Toronto still led 2-0 as players headed to the dugout.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said everyone assumed the inning was over when plate umpire Charlie Ramos “waved off the run,” and said that during all the confusion he was never given the opportunity to appeal Seigler not tagging up from third.

Umpires then started discussing the bizarre play. There were separate conversations with both managers before conferring with MLB's replay center for a rules check on what crew chief Chris Guccione said was a timing play and not a force play.

In the end, because Seigler crossed home plate before Sogard was called out at first, and Toronto never appealed the runner leaving third base early, the run was awarded to the Red Sox.

“We felt like it was our obligation to correct the error for not scoring the run originally,” Guccione said.

“The rule is the rule. ... So if the run scores from third, no matter what he did tagging up, or not, before the out is recorded at first, the run counts,” Schneider said. “Now, if we had just thrown the ball to third instead of first, obviously different story.”

Guccione told a pool reporter after the game that the Blue Jays would have had to appeal at third base before leaving the field to prevent that run.

“After consulting with MLB, they told me that all of my players were across the third base line before Charlie waved off the run, which I 100% disagree with,” Schneider said. “I don’t know if Vlad is that fast after he got the ball at first.”

But even some Blue Jays appeared to think the catch by center fielder Brett Batemen was the third out of the inning. Toronto reliever Simeon Woods Richardson and catcher Brandon Valenzuela both turned their back to the play and were going to the dugout even before second baseman Josh Smith got the ball from Bateman and threw to first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

“It was a weird, very weird situation, where the players on both sides seemed to be confused on the outs,” Tracy said.

“Going forward, when that play happens again in the next 100 years, if it’s us, we will record the lead out at third,” Schneider said. “That’s the best I got.”
