One of the great parts about the MLB postseason is how any single moment can seemingly turn a game — or even the series. We saw that on Tuesday night when a would-be, inning-ending third strike was called a ball, leading to the Astros’ seven-run ninth inning in Game 4.
On Wednesday, the Astros’ offensive onslaught continued to come in a wave. And this time, Red Sox fans can’t blame the umpires.
With Houston up a run in the sixth inning and Jose Altuve at first base, Michael Brantley rolled a soft grounder to Rafael Devers with Altuve running on the pitch. Devers fielded the ball cleanly and made a perfect throw to first.
Schwarber, though, just didn’t catch the ball.
