The Houston Astros weren’t getting swept out of the postseason — not if Jose Altuve and George Springer had anything to say about it.
Altuve, whose errors had led to Tampa Bay Rays wins in two games so far in this ALCS, was one of the heroes in Game 4 as the Astros staved off elimination with a 4-3 win. He homered in the first inning and had an RBI double in the third inning.
After the Rays tied the game on a Randy Arozarena homer, Springer swooped in and played playoff hero again. Springer is no stranger to big homers in the postseason, and this time he blasted a go-ahead two-run homer in the fifth inning.
