After playing for two weeks longer than most of the sporting world expected, the Houston Astros decided they wanted to remain in the San Diego bubble for at least one more day. Zack Greinke took the mound and was all business, Jose Altuve and George Springer provided some big swings, Cristian Javier continued his remarkable postseason with a stellar relief outing, and Ryan Pressly made things exciting before scraping by and picking up his team’s 27th out.
Add it all up, and the Astros defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday night at Petco Park to keep their campaign alive.
