Bilbos reporting from Minute Maid Park.
To the deafening noise of 41,168 screaming fans, I have just witnessed Roberto Osuna strike out Ji-Man Choi to advance the Astros to the AlCS.
But almost immediately after, the crowd acknowledged the real hero of this game, and the reaon why the Astros won this series, chanting Gerrit Cole...Gerrit Cole...Gerrit Cole.
Tonight Cole dominated in his second straight playoff game, going eight innings, allowing one run, two hits, striking out 10 Rays.
For the series he logged 15.2 innings, struck out an incredible 25 Rays, while allowing six hits total and three walks.
