Jason Castro hit a walkoff home run in the bottom of the eleventh to give the Astros a 4-3 victory. Prior to the fireworks at the end of the game, a security guard took part in a dance-off against Orbit, the Houston mascot.

The video does not show Orbit dancing much, but he has the perfect facial expression for the security guard. His expression is a mix between being stunned and amazed, which is understandable because the guard went all out.
