On the same side, Houston ended up winning the match by 5-4. In game 6, Houston faced off Texas, where the Texas team won, and García hit a grand slam in the top of the ninth despite having a strikeout four times that day.
The next happened in game 7, where the favor was in the hands of Texas; García was homered two times and had the five runs for the team. He also made the postseason series record with 15 RBIs and eventually earned the name of the ALCS Most Valuable Player.
