SAN DIEGO — Grae Kessinger replaced the ejected Jose Altuve and scored on Kyle Tucker's single in the 10th inning to give the AL West-leading Houston Astros a wild 4-3 win against the San Diego Padres. Astros reliever Héctor Neris loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the inning before getting Manny Machado to ground into a force play. Machado had hit a tying 2-run home run in the sixth. Neris earned his 18th save. Kessinger started the 10th as the automatic runner in place of Altuve, who was ejected along with manager Joe Espada after a crazy scene following the top of the ninth.
