Did that game look like Astros 2020 or some kind of throwback team?
A last-at-bat come from behind victory in a play-off game. Where have we seen that before? Brilliant pitching with a long reliever getting the win. Hmmm.

Party like it’s 2017.
The Astros pitching staff was excellent in the playoff opener, doing more than enough to grab a 1-0 series lead on the Minnesota Twins. However, what plagued them most throughout the regular season? That’s right, the offense. They gave false hope time and time again throughout the day and it appeared it would happen once more in the ninth inning, setting up the Twins with a perfect opportunity to walk off with a victory.
