HOUSTON—Victor Caratini’s RBI single in the 10th inning gave Houston a 2–1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night after the Astros had lost their starting pitcher when Ronel Blanco was ejected following a foreign-substance check.
The game was tied 1–1 when pinch-runner Trey Cabbage replaced Jon Singleton as the automatic runner on second base to start the bottom of the 10th. Cabbage moved to third on a flyball by Jake Meyers before Caratini hit a ground ball into center field off Michael Kelly (2–1) to give the Astros their fifth win in six games.
