Much has been said about the Houston Astros’ success on the road this season with their 51-30 away record compared to their 39-42 home record.
Prior to scoring eight runs in Game 3 of the ALCS, the Houston Astros had scored only four total runs in their first two games (home) against the Texas Rangers.
While Game 4 is still very much fresh, clearly that momentum carried over for the Astros.
In fact, Thursday night in Game 4 of the ALCS, before Rangers pitcher Andrew Heaney even logged his first out, the Astros scored three runs and nabbed four consecutive hits, picking up right where they left off.
In the first inning alone, the team hit a single, double and triple.
