Through the sting of losing Game Seven of the World Series, there is one bright spot Astros fans will always remember. Zack Greinke was absolutely brilliant, carving up the Nationals hitters through his first six innings. His start was reminiscent of the one Brandon Backe made in Game Four of the 2005 World Series.
Backe, the Galveston native, will forever be remembered for his tremendous effort in the final game of the Astros’ first trip to the fall classic. With the team facing a 3-0 deficit, he took the mound at Minute Maid Park and produced an absolute gem.
