Wham bam: now that was the Andrew Heaney Yankees fans know and once tried (for a moment) to love. Heaney got the start for the Texas Rangers as they tried to open up a 3-1 series lead over the Houston Astros, but he sure didn’t finish it, lasting just two-thirds of an inning and leaving the Rangers in a 3-0 hole that they never quite crawled out of. He was far from the only reason they ultimately lost 10-3, giving home field advantage back to the Astros, who will be at the very least hosting a Game 6 (if not a Game 7), but he did leave Texas on their heels from the get-go, leaving this game with the feeling of being controlled by the Astros the whole way — even if that’s not quite how it went.
