SEATTLE — Houston Astros<\/a> shortstop Jeremy Pena<\/a> left Saturday night’s 8-7 loss<\/a> to the Seattle Mariners<\/a> in the fourth inning because of right posterior knee tightness.<\/p>\n

Pena singled off starter Luis Castillo<\/a> in the fourth, advanced to second on Yordan Alvarez<\/a>‘s flyout and went to third on an RBI single by Isaac Paredes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the Mariners made a pitching change, pinch-runner Nick Allen<\/a> replaced Pena at third.<\/p>\n

Pena is batting .256 with five runs scored this season. He was the World Series MVP and American League Championship Series MVP as a rookie in 2022.<\/p>\n

Pena made his first All-Star team last year, when he batted .304 with 17 home runs, 62 RBIs, 20 stolen bases and an .840 OPS in 125 games.<\/p>\n
