No one really expected the Houston Astros to fold after going down 2-0 in the ALCS, did they?
The Astros battered the Texas Rangers, 10-3, Thursday in ALCS Game 4 to tie the series at 2-2. Showing that home-field advantage is often overstated, the visiting team has won all four games in the series.
Houston jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning, then added four more in the fourth. José Abreu put an exclamation point on that outburst with a three-run shot into the second deck.
The Rangers were one out away from getting out of a bases loaded, nobody out jam with only one run allowed.

Now that the Astros have tied the series, they have their ace, Justin Verlander, on the mound in Game 5. Advantage: Astros.
Fans reacted to the turn of events in the ALCS.
Road warriors:
No one embraces playing on the road more than these Houston Astros.
They lead the Texas Rangers, 9-3, in the 7th.— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) October 20, 2023
