The Astros were one win away from returning to the World Series. It would have marked the club’s third trip to the Fall Classic in four years. The 2020 ALCS will rightly be considered a classic.

It shouldn’t have been necessary.

The Astros made critical errors throughout the series, and the Rays made them pay for each and every one.

Game 2

In the bottom of the 1st, Lance McCullers induces a pair of ground balls to get the first two outs.
