The Astros failed again in extra-innings, today in a most bizarre way.
With two outs in the 11th inning and the tying run on third, Mr. Walk-off himself, Jose Altuve tried to bunt the runner home, which, with two outs, meant that he would have to be safe at first as well.
Actually, it was a good bunt. Just not good enough, as Miguel Sano made a perfect bare-handed play and threw out Altuve by a hair.
The score was tied at the end of nine innings, 3 - 3, on the strength of Astros homers by rookies Taylor Jones and Chaz McCormick.
