This View of Astros Fans Leaving Game 6 During Adolis Garcia’s Home Run Trot is Too Good

Adolis García’s ninth inning grand slam served as quite the dagger to force a Game 7 in the Rangers-Astros ALCS.

The Rangers' slugger teed off on a Ryne Stanek fastball to give Texas a 9–2 lead, helping to even the series ahead of Monday’s decisive Game 7. An angle of the blast shared by the Rangers’ social media team shows just how clutch the homer was. In the video, dejected Astros fans can be seen getting up and heading to the exits en masse while García is still rounding the bases, an epic silencer by the Rangers star who has been booed by Astros fans all series.

One fan captured the scene behind home plate to really demonstrate the mass exodus by Astros fans after the homer: 

It was quite the flex from García, who has now homered in three straight games.

This ALCS has been unique in that the road team has won all six games of the series, in large part due to clutch hits in hostile environments like the one García delivered Sunday night. We’ll see what Game 7 has in store Monday as Houston looks for a fifth World Series appearance in the last seven years.
