Tonight, Game 7 of the ALCS will determine who will head to the World Series to play the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yankees will use C.C. Sabathia while the Astros will send either Charlie Morton or Lance McCullers to the hill. The game will start at 8:08 p.m.
Last night, Justin Verlander was dealing against the Yankees but the Astros didn’t give him much offense to work with until the fifth inning. Jose Altuve got the big hit. With the Astros leading 1-0, he delivered a two out, two-run single. Verlander took care of business from there and the Astros broke it open in the eighth inning. Altuve homered and Alex Bregman had a two-run triple.
