9 outs to go. So many wonder why some like baseball, but games like this are a good illustration of the tension and excitement of the game. And, if you played the game, you know exactly how much focus and excitement there is on every pitch.
BTW, Astros get leadoff man on third with no outs and the number 8 hitter does not even consider (the manager actually) a safety squeeze.

Yuli Gurriel gets a leadoff double and gets to 3rd on a wild pitch, but ends up in a rundown and gets out near 3rd base. Astros miss a golden opportunity to extend the lead.

Altuve walks and Pena gets a base hit. Alvarez grounds out to 1st and Altuve scores. The Astros get an insurance run to make it 3-1.

Gracious... relief pitcher for Astros walks the lead-off hitter in the bottom of the eight -- and the manager does not pull him. Of course the Phillie comes around and scores. Number one rule for relievers: Do not walk the lead-off hitter in late innings of a close game. Let them hit it, you have a better chance at an out. So it is 3-2 Astros going into the 9th. The Astros are not playing very smartly.

Astros need to only win 1 of 2 possibe home games Saturday or Sunday. Matress Mike, the owner of Gallery Furniture bet 10 million on he Astros at various times during the season. He will win an estimated $75 million if the Astros win the series.
