WASHINGTON (AP) — Joey Meneses hit an RBI single in the 10th inning after Ryan Pressly blew the save in the ninth for Houston and the Washington Nationals came back to defeat the Astros 5-4 on Saturday.
Meneses led off the 10th against Seth Martinez (1-2) and lined his first pitch to the wall in right-center, scoring Nasim Nuñez from second base with the winning run on his third hit of the game.
“In that particular moment, I was just trying to focus on getting a good pitch and taking a good swing in that at-bat,” said Meneses, who began the day hitting .182. “If you keep thinking about everything, it’s just overwhelming.”
Washington had tied it with two runs in the ninth against Houston, which has lost 11 of its last 12 extra-inning games.
“Yeah, they’re not easy,” Astros manager Joe Espada said. “You find yourself with an opportunity to win the game, and you have the guys that you want in the game, and the fact that you can’t close this game, it’s hard to swallow.”
