In the playoffs, series winning walk-off home runs are rare and exciting feats. And last night we were treated to a walk-off bomb by José Altuve off Aroldis Chapman with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning. The blast gave the Astros a 6-4 win over the Yankees and a berth in the World Series against the Washington Nationals.

Altuve’s heroics came just after the Yankees’ DJ Lemahieu had tied the game with a two-run blast of his own in the top of the 9th.
