MLB playoffs 2018: Are Houston Astros cheating their way through the postseason?

Are the Houston Astros, the defending World Series champions, cheating their way through the postseason?

That's what has the baseball world buzzing, following a shocking report by Metro Boston on Tuesday. The story is based on events during Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

In the third inning of the first game of the series, security removed a man claiming to be an Astros employee from the media-credentialed area next to the Boston Red Sox dugout, according to multiple security sources who were on the scene at the time of the incident.
