Tampa Bay Rays’ postseason dreams dashed in game five loss to Houston Astros

This was it, the ultimate in must-win situations. One way or another one team was done for the season on Thursday night as game five of the ALDS began in Houston. In one corner, the Tampa Bay Rays, a scrappy young team who had spent a whole season proving themselves worthy of the moment, but being overlooked by baseball for the most part. And in the other corner, the Houston Astros, gunning for their third trip to the ALCS in three years.

It was called a David and Goliath match by some, but a the end of the day, it was Goliath who triumphed.
