Another Jose Altuve error leads to the Houston Astros facing a 3-0 deficit in the ALCS.

If you watched Game Two of the ALCS and didn’t watch Game Three, you didn’t miss anything. Tuesday’s game, a 5-2 loss for the Houston Astros, was essentially a carbon copy of the previous day’s game — more bad luck at the plate and more good pitching undone by a costly Jose Altuve throwing error.
