The Game 4 of the ALCS saw Houston Astros force a Game 5 in the series as they live to fight another day and try to make a miraculous comeback when they beated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3. They now trail the Series 3-1.

Tyler Glasnow took the mound as Starting Pitcher for the Rays. It had been a win day for Rays this season as they won all last 11 games when he started. He faced off Against Jose Altuve who had made a habit of hitting a home run in the first inning. After doing so in Game 1 and 3, he did the same again in Game 4 as he crushed a 100mph pitch by Glasnow to make it 1-0 for the Astros.

Altuve wasn't done there. He would then go to cash in a run through an RBI Double in the bottom of the third inning to make it 2-0 for the Astros. The game was then tied in the top of the 4th inning when Randy Arozarena slammed home a 2 run home run.This was his 5th Home run of the postseason.

Tyler Glasnow's day this time didn't ended with a win as George Springer slammed a 2 run home run in the bottom of the 5th innings to put Astros on top again. Astros starting pitcher Zack Greinke escaped with bases loaded as the Rays missed a golden chance to put some runs on the board.

Astros's closer Ryan Pressly gave away one run in the top of the 9th innings but had the last laugh as the Rays were left with a runner on 3rd base with the tieing run 90 feet away. Despite this lose,The Rays would be feeling confident to closing out the Series in Game 5. Can the Astros win tonight and ignite a comeback?
