These two teams expect to see each other again when it really counts.
That will be something to watch.
In the two previous victories the Astros came from behind and hung on to win. Tonight their chance to go ahead was nullified by one of the most dubious replay decisions that this writer has ever seen.
With Jose Altuve on third and one out, he came home on a ground ball by Yuli Gurriel. Altuve slid behind the plate but the umpire ruled that the tag beat Altuve’s hand touching home base. Video loops seemed to confirm over and over again that Altuve touched home before the tag, the ESPN announcers unanimously declared their belief that Altuve was safe.
