Tim Fletcher: Greg Abbott Makes An Astros Error

The Houston Astros led Kansas City 6-2 heading to the 8th inning in front of raucous Minute Maid Park crowd in game 4 of their American League Division Series.

Texas Governor, Greg Abbott tweeted out congratulations to the Astros for advancing to the American League Championship Series...all that remained to make it official were six measly outs.

The Royals collected five straight base hits to start their half of the eighth, with four of those coming off former LSU Tiger, Will Harris to cut the lead to 6-4. With nobody out and the bases loaded, Kendrys Morales bounced a ball up the middle that deflected off reliver Tony Sipp's glove and tipped the top of Carlos Correa's out-stetched glove before rolling into center field to chase home two runs.  Correa was charged with the tough-luck error. Alex Gordon brought home the go-ahead run with an RBI groundout to complete the comeback.  Eric Hosmer added a two-run homer in the ninth to settle the final score at 9-6 Kansas City.

Correa went 4-for-4, with two homers and 4 RBI.  He is the second youngest player in major league history to hit two home runs in a post-season game. His two run shot in the seventh was followed by a solo serving of taters from Colby Rasmus that gave Houston their 6-2 lead.
