Carlos Correa does it again, Astros stay alive in the ALCS

They have pulled off the improbable time and time again this postseason, so why not once more?

Riding a parade of five rookie pitchers to start the game, the Astros again fought tooth and nail with the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series at Petco Park. Houston had two different leads, Tampa Bay muscled their way to a tie game on two occasions, but Carlos Correa had the last laugh.

The shortstop clobbered a one-out solo homer to center field in the bottom of the ninth inning against Nick Anderson, giving Houston a 4-3 win and again staving off elimination.
