Bobby J. Smith was named player of the game in the AL Wild Card game against the Houston Astros.

Smith threw 6.2 innings, only giving up 2 hits (an Alex Bregman double in the 1st and a Jose Altuve single in the 7th). Altuve would later score on a Tyler White triple, which was the only run credited to Smith.

He walked 1 and struck out 11.

However, despite a 3-1 lead after seven innings, the Astros rallied back and won 4-3 on a walkoff single by Jose Peraza in the bottom of the ninth.

"It's heartbreaking" Smith told reporters at the end of the game. "While I'm happy that I was able to give my best, it's devastating to watch a season end like that and be powerless to stop it...but at the end of the day you can only control so much."

The Astros will play Cleveland in the ALDS.
