Astros bounce back vs. Rangers with 8-5 Game 3 win in ALCS

Josh Jung's solo efforts were negated as the Houston Astros' bats proved more efficient vs. the Texas Rangers in Game 3 of the 2023 ALCS on Wednesday.

Maurico Dubon led Houston going 3-for-4 at the plate with one RBI while Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 with two RBIs.

Just as Texas got off to a hot start in Game 2 with a four-run first inning, this time Houston took the baton. Then Jose Altuve came alive for the first time in the series. He sent Scherzer's fastball deep to left center field for a solo home run to make it 4-0.Houston added a fifth in the fourth inning when Dubon's deep single to center saw Jose Abreu run home, but Texas responded in the ensuing inning.

Deja vu then struck in the seventh when Jung logged another double homer with Lowe on first base, but Houston quickly erased his efforts in the next inning with Tucker scoring off a Jeremy Pena single to make it 8-4.
