After the Houston Astros finished off a somewhat improbable sweep of the Minnesota Twins in the Wild Card round, shortstop Carlos Correa had the perfect words. “I know a lot of people are mad. I know a lot of people don’t want to see us here. But what are they going to say now?”
While the haters are wiping away their tears, the Astros are celebrating and awaiting their next opponent. They defeated the Twins 3-1 on Wednesday to complete the sweep and will face either the A’s or White Sox beginning Monday at Dodger Stadium.
