So many times the hero for the Houston Astros over the years, José Altuve had to put his superman cape on once again Friday in the team's 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the ALCS.
Altuve had the crowd at Globe Life Field in a stunned silence as he blasted a three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning off Rangers' closer José Leclerc to storm back from a 4-2 deficit and giving the Astros a lead that they would never relinquish.
Following a three-run shot by Adolis García in the bottom of the sixth, it looked like Houston had its back on the ropes, in danger of falling into a dangerous 3-2 series hold.
