The Houston Astros survived a late Orioles rally to claim a dramatic 5-4 walk-off victory Saturday night, with Carlos Correa delivering the decisive blow in the bottom of the ninth. The Astros' veteran shortstop went 2-for-6, but his final at-bat—a sharp single with two outs—plated Mauricio Dubón to send Minute Maid Park into a frenzy. José Altuve had set the stage earlier with a towering solo homer in the third, his 20th of the season, while Dubón (1-for-2, RBI) and Cam Smith (1-for-2, 2 runs) provided timely hits in a game where Houston scratched out runs despite stranding 10 baserunners.

Baltimore’s Dylan Carlson (2-for-4, 2 RBI, HR) nearly played spoiler with a two-run homer in the eighth that tied the game at 4-4, capping a late surge against Houston’s bullpen. But the Orioles’ offense—held to just five hits—couldn’t overcome a rough night from starter Cade Povich, who struck out 10 but allowed three runs in five laborious innings. The loss snapped Baltimore’s three-game win streak, while the Astros, buoyed by 2.0 scoreless innings from Enyel De Los Santos, inched closer in the AL wild-card race with their second straight walk-off win.
