Gurriel’s homer in 10th lifts Astros to 2-1 win over Seattle
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Yuli Gur-
riel hit a game-ending home
run in the 10th inning and
the Houston Astros beat the
Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Fri-
day night.
Gurriel hit a 2-2 pitch
from Matt Festa (0-2) off
the facade in left fi eld for his
eighth homer.
Houston’s Josh Reddick
hit a solo home run to right
in the eighth inning to tie it
at 1. That snapped a streak of
17 scoreless innings for the
Astros.
Austin Nola put the Mar-
iners ahead 1-0 in the third
with his fi rst career home
run.
Will Harris (2-1) pitched
around a single in the tenth
for the win.
Houston missed a chance
to get on the board in the
seventh, with Myles Straw
forced to hold at third after
he missed the base on a
single by Jake Marisnick.
After Austin Adams walked
George Springer to load the
bases with one out, Adams
got Jose Altuve to ground
to third, with Tim Beckham
nailing Straw at the plate.
Adams struck out Alex Breg-
man to end the inning.

Dominican police
arrest ‘mastermind’ in
David Ortiz shooting
By MARTÍN ADAMES
AND DÁNICA COTO
Associated Press
SANTO DOMINGO,
Dominican Republic —
Authorities in the Domin-
ican Republic announced
Friday that they have
arrested the man behind
the shooting of baseball
great David Ortiz in an
apparent case of mistaken
identity.
Police said Víctor Hugo
Gómez was detained in
the Caribbean country. No
further details were imme-
diately released.
Authorities had said last
week that they believed
Gómez was living in the
U.S. and described him as
a dangerous fugitive, add-
ing that he was an asso-
ciate of Mexico’s Gulf
Cartel.
He is accused of
ordering the killing of
his cousin, Sixto David
Fernández. Authorities say
hit men confused Ortiz
with Fernández during
the June 9 shooting at a
bar in the capital of Santo
Domingo. The two men
are friends and were shar-
ing a table.
Carlos Rubio, Gómez’s
attorney, did not imme-
diately return a message
for comment. However,
he posted a seven-min-
ute video on YouTube on
Friday in which his client
talks about the case.
“I would never do some-
thing like this,” Gómez
said, adding that he did not
try to kill his cousin, “and
least of all David, ‘Big
Papi.’”
Gómez, who was wear-
ing a gray T-shirt and a
khaki cap, said he made
the video because he fears
for his life and wanted to
reject the accusations as he
called on police to investi-
gate the case more deeply.
“I want to clarify that I
have nothing to do with any
attempt on the life against
Sixto David Fernández,”
he said. “We’re family.”
Gómez then spent most
of the video accusing
Fernández of having ties
to drug traffi ckers, saying
that many people would
back up his claims.
Fernández did not
return a message for
comment.
Authorities said at
a recent press confer-
ence that Gómez wanted
Fernández killed because
he believed his cousin
turned him into Domini-
can drug investigators in
2011. They said Gómez
then spent time in prison
in the Dominican Repub-
lic with one of at least 11
suspects arrested in the
shooting.
Gómez later resurfaced
in the U.S. as one of dozens
of suspects sought by fed-
eral authorities following a
March 2019 drug traffi ck-
ing sting in Houston.
In the video, Gómez
said he did not turn him-
self into U.S. authorities
because he was not home
at the time and because he
could not afford a lawyer
or post bond.
Police had said Fernán-
dez
received
several
threatening messages from
Gómez prior to the shoot-
ing but did not provide a
time frame.
On Friday, authori-
ties also announced the
arrest of another suspect,
Alberto Rodríguez Mota,
who is accused of paying
the hit men some $8,000.
Police said he was cap-
tured off the eastern coast
of the Dominican Republic
en route to Puerto Rico.
