The Houston Astros would win a thriller, 7-6, over the Los Angeles Dodgers on a walk-off home run Saturday, but it wasn't without some lowlights for the winning side. Jose Altuve, with a bases loaded opportunity in the bottom of the eighth inning, swung at three nearly identical pitches.
Seriously, they were all the same. Same pitch, about the same velocity, same part of the strike zone: Way outside. Pitcher Blake Treinen probably thought he got away with something here.
