Going into this weekend, the Houston Astros wanted so much to beat up on the Texas Rangers. It’s a rivalry as big as the Lone Star State. Boy, did they ever succeeded in that task, thanks in part to the balk seen ’round the world!
Even though the pitching performances by Charlie Morton and Dallas Keuchel over Saturday and Sunday respectively were not that great, the offense picked both of these gentlemen up. The result was a 4 game sweep and the success of keeping the coveted Silver Boot in H-Town.
However, Sunday’s game was the specific nail-biter of the entire series.
