The slugger’s ninth-inning grand slam made sure his Rangers would win Game 6 of the ALCS, setting up Monday’s Game 7 with a spot in the World Series at stake.
Adolis García gently drops his bat after his ninth-inning grand slam made sure his Rangers would win Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Sunday night in Houston. HOUSTON — With every swing Adolis García took Sunday night, it looked as if Houston Astros fans had zapped his power, his confidence and his aura. Their boos rained down starting with pregame introductions and continued with every at-bat.
The playoffs have been a redemption story. They swept Tampa Bay on the road in the first round, then swept the AL-best Baltimore Orioles. And after winning the first two games of this series, the Rangers were 6-0 on the road in the postseason. Heim’s home run had an expected batting average of .110 and would have been a home run in just two ballparks — Yankee Stadium and Minute Maid Park.
