The Rangers chased Astros starter Cristian Javier after just 1/3 of an inning after scoring three runs in the top of the first inning in Game 7 of the ALCS on Monday night at Minute Maid Park.

In the bottom of the first, eight-time All-Star Jose Altuve got the home crowd right back into the game smashing a double that broke the left outfield wall.

Altuve would come around to score Houston's first run of the game on a single by Jose Abreu off Texas starting pitcher Max Scherzer.

In a moment reminiscent of Roy Hobbs smashing a lighttower in the 1984 movie, The Natural, baseball fans were left in awe by Altuve's ability to break the outfield wall.
