The last time the Astros scored five runs in a postseason inning before tonight's five-run fifth? Game 5 of last year's ALCS, when they scored five in the sixth inning of a 9-1 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
It netted nothing, but the Astros took far better at-bats in the first inning today than at any point during Game 3. They spoiled seven Aaron Nola pitches foul and forced him to throw 20 pitches, but stranded Yordan Alvarez at first base.The Astros have to get Yordan Alvarez going. A two-out, two-strike single during the first is an encouraging sign. Before the game, Dusty Baker said he’d like to see Alvarez be more patient and not expand the strike zone.
This year, Mancini will write Ryan Minor’s name on his card. Minor was Mancini’s Low-A manager in the Orioles system and recently received a Stage IV colon cancer diagnosis. “I texted him a couple days ago, and he got back to me, so I've been talking to him and just wanted to let him know I was thinking about him, and I know what he's going through,” Mancini said.The Astros enter Game 4 trying to buck a recent trend. Eleven of the past 14 teams to lead the World Series 2-1 have gone on to win it, including the past five instances.
despite all the social media chatter about what Bryce Harper might have told teammate Alec Bohm. Before Wednesday’s Game 4, Phillies manager Rob Thomson was asked for his opinion and if he thought it might be an advantage for the Astros to think they might have picked up a tell on McCullers even if they haven’t really. “I don’t think we had anything on him, but I don’t know whether it helps or hurts if someone thinks we did have something on him,” Thomson said.
