The Houston Astros came back in Game 3 to beat the Texas Rangers 8-5 in Game 3 of the ALCS on Wednesday.
The Astros took a 3-0 lead in the second inning thanks to Max Scherzer, who threw a wild pitch that saw Yordan Alvarez score before Martin Maldonado singled to left, allowing Kyle Tucker and Mauricio Dubon to follow. Altuve came alive for the first time in the series, taking a fastball deep to left center field for a solo home run to make it 4-0. It marked Altuve’s 25th-career postseason home run (only Manny Ramirez with 29 has more in MLB postseason history).Dubon led Houston going 3-for-4 at the plate with one RBI, while Alvarez went 2-for-4 with two RBIs.
Game 4 will take place on Thursday night from Globe Life Field, set to start Thursday at 8:03 p.m. ET. José Urquidy pitches for Houston and Andrew Heaney starts for the Rangers.
