The Minnesota Twins parted ways in the ninth inning on Tuesday afternoon, and at least one baseball fan could not be happier.
The Houston Astros joined the Ninth Innings to beat the Twins 4-1 in the first round of their AL playoff series, resulting in a Mississippi bettor receiving a salary of 6 25,625,000.
The Astros wins after a two-out walk
The Astros loaded the bases on twins reliever Sergio Romeo, and Jose Altuve quickly took the lead after pulling a two-out walk to run in the next race.
Twins shortstop George Polanko’s error extended the innings, and Michael Brantley then scored a single to give the team a three-run victory. The loss was Minnesota’s 17th straight poston ason.
“These guys know how to fight. They know what it’s like,” Astros manager Dusty Baker told the Associated Press. “They know how to win, and they’re proud of what they do.”
The Astros now just need one more win to get out of the new wild-card series, which they can do on Wednesday afternoon.
Although a Mississippi fan was on the verge of meeting during the wild end in Minneapolis, they ended the day with an incredible payout.
We’ll see if they’ll be back on Wednesday to ride it.
