The Houston Astros, baseball’s villains of 2020, the team 29 other fanbases are rooting against, the team whose demise is anticipated around the country, just refuse to die.
Down 3-0 in their ALCS with the Tampa Bay Rays just three days ago, the Astros have clawed their way back to tie the series with a 7-4 win in Game 6 on Friday night. Game 7, here we come.
It’s now one game with the AL pennant and a ticket to the World Series on the line. Now the Astros, after a thorough beating of the Rays in Game 6, have plenty of momentum heading into a situation they’ve been in before — a winner-take-all postseason game.
