SAN DIEGO (AP) — Manuel Margot hit a three-run home run after a crucial Houston error and made a spectacular catch in right field in his former home ballpark, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Astros 4-2 to take a 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.
Margot homered off Lance McCullers Jr. w with two outs in the first inning on an 87-degree afternoon.
An inning later, he tracked George Springer’s long foul ball to right field while shielding his face from the sun and caught it as he tumbled over a padded railing atop a wall.
