“This Is So Disrespectful”- MLB Fans Slam Houston Astros’ Cheeky Gesture After Sweeping the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS

After a huge win over the Seattle Mariners in Game 3, the Houston Astros completed the sweep and also booked their seat for the American League Championship Series. The Astros became the second team after the Phillies to confirm their Championship Series slot in the postseason.

Unlike the first two games, when Yordan Alvarez took the Astros home, Jeremy Pena, came clutch for the Dusty Baker-led team in Game 3, and helped his team complete the sweep against the Mariners. Although the Astros won the game in the ballpark, they might have hurt baseball fans by trolling the Mariners after a huge win in Seattle.

And considering it was a do-or-die game for the Mariners, they did everything to stop the star-studded Astros. Both teams fought hard until the Astros finally beat the Mariners in the 17th inning.
