Well, that was an embarrassing game to watch for so many reasons. Picking up from where the ALCS left off.
Simply put, the Astros were outplayed. It took Hunter Brown 80 pitches to make it through three innings. Adolis García somehow hit a fastball located an entire zip code out of the strike zone for what felt like a three-run dagger in the second inning to make it an early 5-0 deficit.

The lineup collected only three hits, with Jake Meyers driving in the only runs for Houston with his two-run dinger in the eighth.
