A Miserable Season From The Houston Astros Ended With A Glorious Faceplant In The Dirt

Poor Carlos Corporán, who actually had a good game for the 'stros, getting them on the board with a run-scoring single in the first and then grabbing another hit after Houston tied the game in the eighth with a three-run home run.
