Updates And Highlights: Altuve's Homer Adds To Astros' Lead Over Rangers In Game 3 Of ALCS
The Houston Astros lost the initial two rounds of the ALCS to the Texas Officers.
ARLINGTON, Texas The Texas Officers have the Houston Astros on Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALCS. The officers are up 2-0 in the series.
Cristian Javier begins the game for Houston, with the 26-year-old right-hander making his fourth beginning in 16 postseason appearances. He is 5-1 with a 1.91 period in season-finisher games, including five scoreless innings to dominate Match 3 of the AL Division Series at Minnesota last week.
Max Scherzer is set for his 28th postseason appearance and first with the officers when he gets back from injury and pitches the game on Wednesday night.
Texas drives the series 2-0, and Scherzer will have a go at putting the prevailing Worldwide Championship champion Astros near the precarious edge of disposal in his initial beginning since Sept. 12, when he was sidelined by a shoulder strain.
Houston's Dusty Pastry Specialist and Texas' Bruce Bochy are the two most established administrators in the majors and are going head-to-head in the ALCS.
Those around the 74-year-old Dough puncher and 68-year-old Bochy say the way in to their prosperity isn't simply insight and old-school coarseness, but in addition their readiness to adjust to baseball's examination age.
The groups meet Wednesday for the sixteenth time this season. The Astros are up 9-6 in the season series.
