Shutdown inning. Lets go right back after Verlander

[Sabin]

Interestingly, Verlander still with a worse playoff ERA than Nola by nearly two runs. Be nice to widen the gap here.

[kikutaro]

Foul (92.5 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (95.8 mph four-seam fastball)

Brandon Marsh doubles (3) on a ground ball to left fielder Yordan Alvarez.

[EastFallowfield]

For the whining from the NL teams about the new playoff format, the Astros do have the advantage of more rest for their pitchers coming in and our two top pitchers had to deal with postseason stress in one more series than they did.

[Brashin]

The hobo gets a hit, hell yeah

[el-pietro]

Agressive base running from Marsh. This team man. They believe so much in their ability to beat anyone.

[el-pietro]

Good news. Astros are warming up relievers in the pen.
Bad news. They are all really good.

Tied up baby!!!

[EastFallowfield]

If the Astros pen is so good, why did they stick with Verlander this long?
