Texas won the game 9-2 though it wasn’t decided until late. Texas closer Jose Leclerc escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam with a 4-2 lead in the eighth inning and Adolis Garcia hit a grand slam in the ninth to put the game away. It was Garcia’s three-run homer that gave Texas a 4-2 lead in Game 5, but Jose Abreu’s three-run homer in the ninth inning send the Astros home to Houston with a chance to clinch.
