Yordan Alvarez hits 3-run walk-off HR as Astros win Game 1

HOUSTON -- The walk-off home run Houston Astros slugger Yordan Álvarez hit to cap a wild come-from-behind victory in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday called to mind great blasts of Octobers past. It left the bat with all the ferocity and velocity of another postseason home run at Minute Maid Park: Albert Pujols' laser off Brad Lidge in 2005. And it was the first game-ending shot by a team that was trailing at the time since Joe Carter's homer that won Toronto the 1993 World Series.
