On June 3, 1989, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros played 22 innings at the Astrodome in what marked the longest National League game in MLB history. The contest also was the longest NL night game by time at 7 hours and 14 minutes.
Houston won a 10th straight with a second consecutive walk-off against the Dodgers on June 4, though that game was only 13 innings.
The Dodgers took a 3-0 lead in the third inning when Eddy Murray doubled and later scored on a wild pitch.
The Astros had a chance for a walk-off win in the 11th inning but John Shelby threw out Craig Reynolds at home plate on his attempt to score on a fly ball to center field.
