The Texas Rangers pulled out a win after losing the momentum they gained against the Houston Astros in Game 6, proving Yogi Berra was right when he said: 'It ain't over 'til it's over.'
All momentum was on the Houston Astros' side after a ninth inning for the ages in Game 5, but the Texas Rangers didn't hear a fat lady sing. The Rangers forced a Game 7 in the American League Championship Series on Sunday with a 9-2 win over Houston.
Houston opened up the bottom of the sixth with back-to-back singles, and two batters later, Mauricio Dubon’s sac fly cut their deficit to a run. The lead run came to the plate in the seventh, which knocked Nathan Eovaldi out of the game, but Michael Brantley grounded into an inning-ending double play. Garver added insurance with an RBI double in the top of the eighth off Bryan Abreu, who appealed his two-game suspension that was handed to him after MLB deemed he intentionally hit Adolis Garcia .
Texas loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the ninth, forcing the Astros to go to the bullpen again, but Ryne Stanek plunked Corey Seager to bring in a run and make it 5-2 Texas. Two batters later, Garcia got some revenge and launched a grand slam into the Crawford Boxes, icing the game. Eovaldi tossed 6.1 innings of two-run ball, putting his postseason ERA at a healthy 2.42. It was his fourth quality start in as many appearances this postseason.
Game 7 is back in Houston on Monday night.
