Alex Bregman Delivered the Most Bizarre Walkoff Hit in Houston Astros History

Bottom of the 10th inning... Two outs... Derek Fisher on second base as a pinch runner... Alex Bregman at the plate. No, I’m not talking about Game 5 of the 2017 World Series.

The Astros and Padres were locked in a 0-0 tie in the 10th inning after a masterful seven-inning performance from Gerrit Cole and, well, a good enough performance from Padres starter Bryan Mitchell. Brian McCann stepped up to the plate, delivered a base hit, and then was substituted for Derek Fisher.

After Fisher stole second base, Jake Marisnick and George Springer each failed to bring the young Astros outfielder home.
