ROBEL GARCÍA WINS IT! Astros walk it off vs Angels in 10 innings

Robel García steps up to the plate as a pinch hitter… A baseball globe-trotter —who is 28 years old and has only 37 MLB games under his belt— comes in the bottom of the tenth inning to face established closer Raisel Iglesias with a man in second and the game on the line. Against all the odds and after two ugly swinging strikes, García immediately walks it off with an RBI single to crown a memorable night for him.

García, who was playing in Italy as recently as 2018, entered the game with two outs replacing Chas McCormick.
