Astros outsmart Dodgers in thrilling game.
Houston Astros' third base coach Gary Pettis made a critical decision in extra innings on Sunday, waving Mauricio Dubón home to the plate as the ball approached left fielder David Peralta, giving Houston a 6-5 lead it wouldn't relinquish against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pettis' heads-up decision marked a relatively rare time when a base coach impacts a game's final outcome, and helped deliver one of the Astros' most important victories of the 2023 season to date.
