In a stunning final four innings that saw two massive swings of the bat, three lead changes and a benches-clearing brouhaha all while the upper hand in this American League Championship Series found a balance, Jose Altuve had the last word.
In a stunning final four innings that saw two massive swings of the bat, three lead changes and a benches-clearing brouhaha all while the upper hand in this American League Championship Series found a balance, Jose Altuve had the last word.
His three-run home run to left field off Rangers closer Jose Leclerc in the top of the ninth gave the Astros a 5-4 victory in Game 5, bringing their season off life support and back, once again, on the doorstep to the World Series. (In the photo above, the ball is the white line next to the fan's left leg who was trying to catch it with his glove wearing the red shirt.)
It was Altuve’s 26th career home run, second-most in major league playoff history, and it ranks among the most memorable.
For the Rangers, it was another sordid chapter in a postseason history that ultimately ends with them snake-bitten. The Rangers, seeking their first World Series, won the first two ALCS games in Houston, but lost the next three in Arlington.

The series now moves to Houston Sunday where the 'Stros have two chances to win one game and go to the World Series against either the Arizona Diamondbacks or the Philadelphia Phillies.
