The Houston Astros’ Jose Altuve won Tuesday’s game against the Texas Rangers with a 10th-inning walk-off grand slam for a 6-3 victory.

That came after the Astros made it into extra innings with a game-tying homer by Carlos Correa in the ninth. It was MLB’s first walk-off grand slam this season. 

 

D'backs Lose Again

The Arizona Diamondbacks blew a seven-run lead to lose 9-8 to the San Francisco Giants Tuesday night, getting their 21st straight loss on the road. Arizona is now just one road loss short of the MLB record, currently shared by the 1963 New York Mets and the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics. 

 

MLB Cracking Down On Pitchers

Major League Baseball is cracking down on pitchers using illegal substances to doctor baseballs, saying Tuesday they will be ejected and suspended for 10 games for it.

Under the policy, which will start Monday, umpires will start regular checks of all pitchers, even if not requested by opposing managers. The crackdown comes in a season so far of record strikeouts and a league batting average at a more than half-century low.
