Excited Astros fans fill up downtown for Game 5

As the Astros were inside Minute Maid Park dutifully preparing for Game 5 of their American League Division Series against the Rays on Thursday, their fans were outside having a grand time before entering the ballpark. The series is tied 2-2 with the home teams winning every game.

The Astros had their usual street festival setup outside with food trucks and entertainment. Those fans were handed orange rally towels as they entered the ballpark, which was filled to capacity by the time of the first pitch.
