2013 – The Mariners manage only one hit against the Astros but still win, 4 – 2. The lone hit is a two-run double by Michael Saunders off Jose Cisnero in the 7th. Starter Erik Bedard gives up no hits and strikes out 10, but allows 5 walks. Things unravel for him with a 2 – 0 lead in the 6th, when he issues back-to-back walks to Saunders and Brad Miller after one out, then a pair of passed balls and a sacrifice fly allow the M’s to tie the game without a hit. Bedard then allows another two walks in the 7th before leaving with two outs, having reached his pitch count limit, setting the table for Saunders’ double. Travis Blackley and Jose Veras toss a hitless inning each to complete the one-hitter, but it’s little consolation for the Astros.

In the other ALDS, New York takes an early 8 – 3 lead over Cleveland, with a two-run homer by Gary Sanchez and a three-run blast by Aaron Hicks. They chase Corey Kluber before the end of the 3rd inning, but the Indians come back after CC Sabathia is taken out of the game, thanks to a grand slam by Francisco Lindor and a solo homer by Jay Bruce off David Robertson in the 9th. Finally, in the 13th inning, Yan Gomes drives in Austin Jackson from second against a tiring Dellin Betances to give Cleveland a 9 – 8 win and a two-games-to-none lead.

The Yankees’ CC Sabathia is ejected in the 6th inning of his team’s 12 – 1 win over Tampa Bay, for throwing at Jesus Sucre in apparent retaliation for Andrew Kittredge throwing a pitch near C Austin Romine’s head in the top of the inning. The ejection is literally costly, as it leaves CC two innings short of 155 on the year, a total which would have netted him a bonus of $500,000 had he reached it. The gesture will also result in a five-game suspension for Sabathia, to be served at the start of the 2019 season. The Yankees will decide in December to pay him the bonus anyway.
