In an intense game, Jose Altuve was ejected for removing his cleat and sock to demonstrate a foul ball off his foot. Grae Kessinger replaced him and scored the winning run in the 10th inning for the Houston Astros, contributing with a crucial defensive play to seal a 4-3 victory against the San Diego Padres.

Despite Altuve's protests about the call, manager Joe Espada expressed his frustration with the umpires' decision, labeling it a missed call. The Padres made two comebacks but failed to capitalize and lost ground in the wild-card race.
