VIDEO: George Springer Rocks Home Run off Tanner Rainey to Pull Astros Closer to Nationals
By Adam Weinrib
I'm sorry, people were crowning the Nationals already? Have you...seen their bullpen? In a hitter's count and with a fastball down in his future, George Springer took reliever Tanner Rainey into a different stratosphere to get the Astros back within range at 5-3 in the seventh inning.
Whole lot of game left, and the 'Stros have the home field and crowd advantage. This monster shot activated the cheering section, I'd say. That bridge to Daniel Hudson...it's looking mighty shaky.
