Playing in his 16th major-league game, Astros rookie outfielder Lucas Spence may have saved the team's season.

Former Astros outfielder Josh Reddick joins Tyler Stafford and The Athletic's Chandler Rome to discuss Spence's stunning performance, the state of the team with three games remaining, Josh Hader's heavy workload and Daulton Varsho's season-ending injury.
