Continuing their winning streak, Boston Red Sox cruised to victory last night in Game 3. The Astros were completely outclassed as it was raining home runs and grand slams for Red Sox at Fenway Park. Notably, they clinched the match by a 12-3 lead.

The 2017 World Series title winners, Houston Astros, are an experienced team in the post-season. However, when they needed their pitching to be near perfect, things went down south for them.

Fans instantly took the matter to Twitter, trolling Astros for slow pitching.
