MLB Playoffs (American League Championship Series): Rays Go Up 3-0 On Astros; Tampa Bay One Victory Away From First World Series Appearance Since 2008

 At Petco Park, San Diego:


Joey Wendle and Hunter Renfroe each drove in two runs during a five-run sixth inning (made possible by an error by Jose Altuve) as the Tampa Bay Rays overpowered the Houston Astros 5-2 in Tuesday's third game of the American League Championship Series.


The Rays, up three games to none, can salt away their first pennant (and World Series appearance) since 2008 with a game-four victory on Wednesday.


The Astros will now attempt to do what was successfully done once in Major League Baseball history, overcoming a three-games-to-none deficit to win a best-of-seven series (Boston Red Sox, ALCS, 2004).
