Houston Astros' Alex Bregman celebrates with Yordan Alvarez after hitting a 2-run home run during the eighth inning of Game 1 of the American League Division Series at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022, in Houston.For the better part of three hours and 38 minutes Tuesday, the Astros barely looked like the Astros.
They trailed 7-3 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning. They did not have the Mariners right where they wanted them, but they knew they had a chance. But even for a team accustomed to stunning postseason victories, this one was miraculous. No player had ever hit a walk-off home run in the playoffs with his team trailing by multiple runs. Incredible.
After Jose Altuve struck out, and with the Astros down to their last strike, another rookie, Jeremy Peña, ripped a slider to center field for a base hit.
