After sweeping the Dodgers, the Astros found themselves swept by a Guardians squad that had lost 10 straight games entering the series.

HOUSTON — Baseball fans know what an intentional walk is. For a refresher, just look at what happens when Jose Ramirez comes to the plate in a game-deciding situation. He’s waved to first base on a free pass. Pitchers don’t even have to throw four pitches off the plate anymore.

Angel Martinez hit his first career grand slam with two outs in the top of the 10th inning, and the visiting Cleveland Guardians stunned the Houston Astros 10-6 on Tuesday.

Victor Caratini's two-out homer in the bottom of the inning drew the Astros within a run, but they got no closer. David Fry added a two-out solo homer off Kaleb Ort in the ninth for the final margin.
