Rays outlast the Astros in Game 1 of the ALCS, 2-1

The Astros have been pure magic through their first six games of the post-season. Tonight, the pixie dust poured down on the the Rays, and missed the Stros. For the Astros it was a game of missed opportunities, for the Rays, a game of big plays at just the right time.

The Astros night started with great promise in the top of the first inning when Jose Altuve flashed his home run swing for the third time this post-season, sending a solo shot deep to left. He now has more ALCS homers than any other second baseman in history.
