After taking an early 2-2 series lead, the Rangers looked like they could have made easy work of the defending champs – but Houston didn't like that idea. On their heels and needing a win, they won the next three games in true Astros fashion, powering through at the plate and keeping the defense rock-solid.
After a close call on Friday, Houston was able to squeak out another win to put themselves up 3-2. Sunday told a different story, however. After falling behind early, the Rangers rallied hard in the 9th inning to put themselves up for good and ensure a game seven to decide it all.

How to watch Rangers vs Astros game 7 live streams from anywhere on Earth
If you're away from easy access to FOX and FS1, you're not out of luck when it comes to following your team through the playoffs. Rangers vs Astros live streams are still possible in your current neck of the woods, though — because with a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your hometown (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN, which offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.
How to watch Rangers vs Astros live streams in the US
Finding Rangers vs Astros game 7 live streams online is much easier online than regular season games that are locked behind regional sports networks. Our top pick for how-to-watch MLB Playoffs games online is Sling TV's Blue and Orange pack. Orange gets you ESPN, while Blue gets you FOX (provided you have a local affiliate), FS1 and TBS. This is part of why Sling is the best cable TV alternative.
All of those channels, save for TBS, are on fubo TV.
The $70 per month YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream all have the above channels as well, but Sling Orange + Blue is only $50. That affordability ensured its spot on our best streaming service list.
