A truly crazy game MLB: Houston Astros won 5–4 against Baltimore Orioles after 12 breathless innings. And the hero was… Ramón Urías — a former Orioles player — with a grounder that forced the defense out of sync, allowing Carlos Correa to glide home for the winning run. Daikin Park was shaken, and social media exploded with controversy: sports justice or sweet “karma”?

Battle of character

Jason Alexander (Astros) threw 6 solid innings, only 2 runs, 6 K — laying the groundwork for victory despite the bullpen having to “carry” another 6 tense innings.

José Altuve launched his 22nd HR of the season in the 7th, reigniting the momentum after the Orioles were chasing.

On the other side, Jackson Holliday hit a 2-run HR in the 8th to tie the game, sending everything into extra innings. Baltimore 0/14 RISP — the painful statistics say it all.

The fateful moment
In the 12th, the Astros had a man on third base. Urías hit a low ball just hard enough to keep the Orioles from making a double play; Correa sprinted home — and the game was over. A seemingly “normal” ball turned into an air knife, freezing the visitors’ defense.

The unsung hero in the bullpen
Enyel De Los Santos took the win with 2 perfect innings, after the relievers including Steven Okert, Bryan Abreu… took turns locking down the Orioles’ chances, while the Astros also “wasted” quite a few chances (3/15 RISP, 15 LOB). The ability to win is measured by… endurance.

It was a walk-off that wasn’t flashy, but it was solid. When opponents squandered their chances, the Astros punished them with ruthless baseball: disciplined pitching, a well-timed swing, and the name Ramón Urías becoming the key word of the night for Houston. Who’s to say they’re not the West’s favorite?
