Game 7 of the ALCS on Monday night in Houston was a snoozer, especially for Astros fans. The Rangers got out to an immediate 3–0 lead in the first inning and never looked back, cruising to an 11–4 victory to clinch their third pennant in franchise history.
The Astros kept it close for a little while, but the game started to get out of hand when Texas’s four-run fourth made it 8–2. Nathaniel Lowe’s two-run homer in the sixth really put the game out of reach, at which point many Houston fans decided they’d seen enough.
Several reporters in the stadium shared videos of the fans streaming toward the exits after Lowe went deep.
