Today, the Red Sox and Astros will play Game 5 of the American League Championship. No word on who will start for Boston due to Chris Sale‘s stomach bug but signs point to David Price. Meanwhile, the Astros will go with their ace, Justin Verlander.
Yesterday, the Dodgers beat the Brewers by a score of 5-2. Cody Bellinger, Justin Turner, and Yasiel Puig led the offensive attack while Clayton Kershaw pitched seven terrific innings. Hopefully the narrative that he can’t pitch in October will quiet down.
The Red Sox won their game and are now up 3-1 on the Astros. Jackie Bradley Jr. provided more heroics for the Red Sox.
