The 4-hour, 3-minute game was the longest of the season for both teams, both in time and innings. Xzavion Curry (3-0) pitched one inning for the Guardians, who played their major league-high 30th one-run game, while Seth Martinez (1-2) worked the final 3 1/3 innings for the Astros. “When you’re at home and they score, it’s not like, ‘OK, the game is over,’ because you’ve also got a guy at second.” “We’ve certainly been on the other side of it, but boy, there was so much that happened,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said. Josh Naylor also scored twice in extras after starting the frame on second base, including the tying run in the 14th. The Astros made it 9-8 in the 14th when Kyle Tucker singled in automatic runner Jose Altuve for the second time in three innings. ![]() “Whatever the challenge that was brought up, we were ready and we capitalized on every moment we could,” Freeman said. Cleveland tied it at 5-5, 6-6, 7-7 and 8-8, but Houston pushed back ahead by one run each time.
