Spanish radio call of Jeremy Peña home run was absolutely bonkers (Video)
By Scott Rogust
You heard the main broadcast call of Jeremy Peña’s clutch home run in the 18th inning. Here is the Spanish radio call.
The Houston Astros have done it once again, and baseball fans are not necessarily shocked. An ALCS trip for the sixth-consecutive season? It feels like that is the minimum every year the Astros make it to the postseason.
But the Astros did not have an easy ALDS against the Seattle Mariners. They had to scratch and claw to get their wins, and that included Game 3. Houston and Seattle could not score a single run through 17 innings until Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña hit a solo home run to center field in the top of the 18th.
That was all the Astros needed, as they won 1-0 to advance to the ALCS.

What a season for Pena, who took over the shortstop position from Carlos Correa, who left the team in free agency to sign with the Minnesota Twins. He had an impressive Spring Training and earned the starter’s position.
Through the season, Pena slashed .253/.289/.426 while hitting 22 home runs, 63 RBI and 132 hits in 136 games.
Now, he helped the Astros secure a chance to win the AL pennant for the fourth time in six years. Houston awaits the winner of the New York Yankees-Cleveland Guardians series.
