WATCH: Astros’ Marwin Gonzalez gun down Greg Bird at the plate

Enjoy this great play by Marwin one more time before game 2.

MLB: ALCS-New York Yankees at Houston Astros Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

Gonzalez cut down Greg Bird at the plate in game of the 2017 ALCS in the in the fifth inning. Aaron Judge singled to left field directly to Gonzalez. He came up throwing with Bird rounding third.
