Tonight, the Dodgers are in Chicago for Game 3 of the NLCS and will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. The Astros will continue their series against the Yankees and will look to go up 3-1.
The Yankees jumped out to an early 3-0 lead Monday thanks to a Yankee Stadium home run in which Todd Frazier was the beneficiary. C.C. Sabathia shut the Astros offense down after that. The Bombers ended up using a heard of relievers despite the big lead, but came away with the victory regardless.
