Despite the Red Sox walking off their way into the American League Championship Series there’s still three games to enjoy on Tuesday.
The Tuesday slate of game fours starts at 2:07 p.m. ET with the White Sox hosting the 2-1 series leading Astros and finishes up with a 9:07 p.m. ET start between the Giants and Dodgers.
Houston Astros (2-1) at Chicago White Sox (1-2)
Lance McCullers Jr. (8-3, 3.62) vs. Carlos Rodon (13-5, 2.37)
Game 4 – 2:07 p.m. ET – Guaranteed Rate Field – Chicago, IL – FS1
The postponement on Monday allows the Astros to bring back McCullers to pitch in an elimination after he tossed 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball in the series opener.
Rodon will be making his first career postseason start and second appearance. He allowed two runs without getting an out last year in the White Sox Wild Card series loss to Oakland.
Milwaukee Brewers (1-2) at Atlanta Braves (2-1)
LHP Eric Lauer (7-5, 3.19) vs. RHP Charlie Morton (14-6, 3.34)
Game 4 – 5:15 p.m. ET – Truist Park – Atlanta, GA – TBS
Rookie starter Ian Anderson and four relievers combined to hold the Brewers scoreless in the Braves 3-0 win in Game 3. Joc Pederson hit a three-run pinch hit home run in the bottom of the fifth inning, he’s now 3-for-3 with two home runs in the series.
Veteran Charlie Morton is pitching on three days rest as the Braves look to end the series. The right-hander allowed two runs and struck out nine in six innings in Game 1 of the series.
The left-handed Lauer will be making his postseason debut and pitching for the first time since October 1st.
Braves outfielder Jorge Soler was a late scratch from the lineup and series roster on Tuesday because of a positive COVID-19 test.
San Francisco Giants (2-1) vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (1-2)
RHP Anthony DeSclafani vs. RHP Walker Buehler
Game 4 – 9:07 p.m. ET – Dodger Stadium – Los Angeles, CA – TBS
The Giants only needed a fifth inning solo home run from veteran third baseman Evan Longoria to secure a 1-0 win on Monday night. San Francisco starter Alex Wood and three relievers combined to shutdown the Dodgers. Despite the loss, Max Scherzer struck out 10 in seven innings for LA.
