I think this is the date the Astros really started to believe they were special. This was against the Yankees on Derek Jeter night and I think two of our critical pieces really started to believe in themselves.
Charlie Morton started the game and struck out 7 of the first 8 batters (granted, one of them was Chris Carter...but still). I think Charlie really started to believe in himself this game and his stuff looked electric. McCann said recently that Morton's stuff is the best he's ever seen.
Alex Bregman hits a grand slam against Tanaka in the first and up until that point he had been slumping a bit in the first half of the season and he proved he could hit in one of the biggest stages with all of the NY media watching.
