The Astros, in one of the most incredible and improbable victories in franchise history, came back from a 7-3 deficit to beat the Seattle Mariners in game one of the ALDS 8-7 on a walkoff home run by Yordan Alvarez with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was the first time a team has hit a walkoff homer when down to its last out since Kirk Gibson's famous shot off Dennis Eckersley in the 1988 World Series.
It was a stunning, come-from-behind win that felt like a loss right up until it didn't, against a team that had done similar things over the last half of the season. Then, Yordan happened.The rookie shortstop struggled at the plate early looking rushed and swinging at breaking pitches off the plate. But, his stellar defense remained on display including a nifty double play and an acrobatic catch on a caught stealing.
