Astros' Controversial Roberto Osuna Trade Blows Up in Critical ALCS Game 3

The Houston Astros traded for ace relief pitcher Roberto Osuna when he was in the middle of a 75-game suspension related to a domestic assault charge. There was bound to come a moment when that decision looked as bad on the field as it did in the department of basic decency.

This moment arrived Tuesday, October 10. Specifically, in the eighth inning of Houston's 8-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.

It was a one-run game when Osuna entered in the top of the eighth at Minute Maid Park.
