Astros fans hope this could be the day the 'Stros get it done and punch their ticket to The World Series once again!
The 106-win Astros, trying for their second straight AL pennant, improved to 6-0 this postseason. On the verge of reaching the World Series for the fourth time in six years, manager Dusty Baker's team aims to close out the series on Sunday night when Lance McCullers Jr. starts against Nestor Cortes.
Christian Javier, who's had 10 days' rest since a 21-pitch relief outing against Seattle in the Division Series opener, pitched for the Astros. He stayed sharp and only allowed one hit, in five 1/3 innings striking out five to get the win. Jose Altuve hit an opposite field double to the right in the fifth inning for his first hit after being 0-for-25 in the postseason."I think it's been obviously hard personally because you want to get up there and play good for your team. But it's been a lot easier, too, because we've been winning," Altuve said.
Game 5 will see Cortes starting on short rest and Lance McCullers will take the mound in his first appearance since Oct. 15 after a champagne bottle bruised his elbow.
