So, three years later, his former teammates, who are now in high school, paid Garcia a visit and honored him by retiring his number 42 jersey. "We’re not only here to play ball for our town, for ourselves, for our teammates, we’re here to aid the healing of people." A girl who was at the school at the time of the shooting had asked Altuve to hit a home run for her.
Mancini made his debut with the Astros on Tuesday, pinch-hitting in the ninth inning and grounding out in an eventual 2-1 loss. He made his first start Wednesday, clobbering a two-run bomb to left in the second inning to give Houston a 4-0 lead. When it comes to Altuve postseason home runs, this one stands apart in a category of its own. The Astros led the Yankees after each of the first eight innings in Game 6 of the 2019 ALCS, but New York was able to plate two runs in the top of the ninth to tie the game up. Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman—who was coming off his sixth of seven All-Star seasons, and who hadn't allowed a run in his previous eight playoff appearances—walked Springer with two outs, bringing Altuve to the plate. Game 2 of the 2017 World Series wasn't short on power, with each team connecting on four long balls, and five home runs coming in extra innings alone.

"It was just fitting for that moment right there, we were all kind of towards the camera. Sometimes you get wrapped up in how hard the game can be and it's nice to have a little fun right there.

Garcia was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma when he was in the 8th grade, forcing him to stop playing football, his mom told CBS News. The teen went viral last week after his high school football team traveled some 350 miles from Laredo, Texas to see him. The 500 people were a part of a group of about 3,000 from Uvalde who received free tickets from the Astros to attend the game. The team had several fundraising efforts at Sunday’s game, with all the proceeds going to help those affected by the shooting.
Houston Astros fans celebrate after Yordan Alvarez’s three-run, walk-off home run to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-7 in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the American League Division Series at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022, in Houston. For Houston, attempting to win its first World Series title since 2017 despite two more appearances in it in and 2021 , it means a 1-0 lead in their best-of-five series with the wild-card Mariners. Alvarez’s two-out blast came off Seattle’s Robbie Ray with an exit velocity of 116.7 mph. It capped a five-inning rally over the final two frames, and sent the crowd and players at Minute Maid Park — including Alvarez’s parents — into a frenzy. Mancini played the first six years of his career in Baltimore and was a fixture in the O’s lineup this season, posting a 114 OPS+ in 401 plate appearances with 10 home runs.

With the derby now settled, fans can continue to wait to learn when Ohtani will pitch and play as a designated hitter in the All-Star Game. Jose Altuve #27 of the Houston Astros celebrates with Alex Bregman #2 after hitting a three-run home run in the fifth inning of Game 5 of the 2017 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Minute Maid Park on October 29, 2017 in Houston. Jose Altuve #27 of the Houston Astros rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the 10th inning of Game 2 of the 2017 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on October 25, 2017 in Los Angeles. While it didn't come in a Houston victory, the fact that it occurred during a close World Series matchup puts this one ahead of some of the others from winning efforts. Altuve put the Astros up 2-0 with a solo home run in the top of the fourth, but they didn't score again in a 3-2 loss. Jose Altuve #27 of the Houston Astros hits a solo home run against Kyle Wright #30 of the Atlanta Braves during the fourth inning in Game Four of the World Series at Truist Park on October 30, 2021 in Atlanta.
Altuve and Carlos Correa opened the top of the 10th with back-to-back solo shots, but the Dodgers answered back with two runs in the bottom half of the inning. A two-run home run by George Springer in the top of the 11th was the deciding factor in a 7-6 Houston victory. Jose Altuve #27 of the Houston Astros reacts after hitting a solo home run during the seventh inning of game one of the American League Division Series against the Boston Red Sox on October 5, 2017 at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

Even if Alvarez does not win the fan vote to start, he is almost guaranteed to be selected to his first Midsummer Classic. Alvarez struck his 24th home run of the season during Tuesday's 9-7 win against the Royals. He trails only Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge for the major league lead. In a season with only one win, recent performances against Cowboys and Chiefs have shown Houston can improve heading into final three games vs. AFC... When you hit a home run that big, you need to stare into the crowd and the dugout for a beat, then flip that disgusting bat out of your hands for the bad things it did to that poor baseball.
As sweet as the 438-foot blast into Minute Maid Park's second deck was, the entire celebration was nearly just as good. There's the 6-foot-5, 225-pound Alvarez standing at home plate admiring his work, and the dugout emptying onto the field in celebration before the big man even gets halfway to first base. Thankfully, Houston Chronicle photographers had the whole thing covered from every angle. The longball marked just the second time in MLB playoff history a team down to its final out walked off via a homer, joining Kirk Gibson’s infamous 1988 World Series dinger.
We'll even have a wrapping station for any items purchased at the Team Store. Suarez's home run came off Cristian Javier — Houston's strongest long-relief option — who only pitched only 1.1 innings out the bullpen. Bryan Abreu followed Verlander for his second-ever postseason appearance — the first coming against the New York Yankees in the 2019 American League Championship Series, where he allowed two runs in 0.2 innings of work. But J.P. Crawford knocked the Cy Young winner off his horse with a solo home run in the inning to build Seattle's run total to five. Rodríguez followed with his second extra-base hit of the afternoon with a two-out triple. But the Astros should not ever have been to that point in the first place.
Houston-based Compass Real Estate agent Dee Dee Guggenheim Howes said her major league clients love large parcels and gated properties. As the downtown region sprawls in all directions away from Minute Maid, condos and penthouse units continue to make up most luxury sales. A newly listed penthouse spans 4,091 square feet and packs hardwood floors and 12-foot floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the nearby Houston skyline.
With Houston leading the Yankees by one in Game 7 of the ALCS, Altuve helped spark a three-run fifth inning with a solo shot. The Astros held on to win 4-0 to advance to the World Series for the second time in franchise history. Altuve's third solo home run of this contest wasn't memorable in terms of the impact on the game, as Houston was already winning 7-2, but it did carry significance. In addition to making Astros history, this blast made him the ninth player ever to hit three home runs in a playoff game. His evening ended after surrendering six runs on 10 hits and one walk, throwing 54 of his 81 pitches for strikes. His three strikeouts gave him sole possession for the most in postseason history .
The final spot went to Corey Seager of the Texas Rangers, who will make just his second derby appearance since 2016, when he won National League rookie of the year as a Dodger. Zach grew up in Florida, lives in Florida, and will never leave Florida ... He's a reigning fantasy football league champion, knows everything there is to know about NASCAR, and once passed out (briefly!) during a lap around Daytona. He swears they were going 200 mph even though they clearly were not. Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (#27) celebrates a home run in game 7 of the ALCS against the New York Yankees at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
