It’s over Houston Astros fans — our team was able to successfully take Game 1 of the ALDS series with confidence against the Tampa Bay Rays in a 6-2 decision. You never know how a team will come out once the postseason starts and if there were any qualms that this team had, they were quickly put to bed.
The guy that set that tone was certainly Jose Altuve, who homered for the third consecutive opening game of a playoff series and his ninth career dinger during that same period.
Knowing that Altuve is up to bat should make us all feel at ease that the job is going to get done one or the other with him being the leader of this team.
