He hasn't pitched this series, so he'll be able to empty the proverbial tank. He was very valuable in his two relief outings in the ALDS, posting a 3.12 ERA in 8 2/3 innings. The Red Sox will send Nick Pivetta to the hill. They will start Zack Greinke and hope he can go three or four innings and then piece things together with the bullpen. The Astros are probably in must-win territory for Tuesday night's Game 4, as it would be awfully tough to rip off three straight wins over the Red Sox with the way they are hitting right now. We've probably seen enough to believe the Red Sox can count on him moving forward after an overall uneven and mostly bad regular season. He struck out seven and didn't walk anyone. He was good in Game 4 against the Rays and his stuff and velocity were both the best they've been all season. There was a three-run homer from Kyle Tucker in there, but overall it was an outing that greatly helped his team save the best bullpen pitchers while taking a 2-1 series lead. He was able to get through six innings of quality work. On the flip side, Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodríguez made things a lot easier on his manager. Games 3-5 in this series come without an off day, so Urquidy's bad outing - and, again, Altuve's error - might prove costly beyond Game 3. He gave up six runs (five earned) in 1 2/3 innings, forcing Dusty Baker to go deep into his bullpen yet again. The Astros really, really needed José Urquidy to get some distance in this one, but instead he didn't make it out of the second inning. Contrast in starting pitchingīoth teams entered the series with major question marks in the rotation. As such, it's really not hyperbole to say they are putting together a historic offensive playoff run. That's the longest such streak in a single postseason in MLB history ( via MLB.com's Sarah Langs). They've now collected at least 10 hits in six straight games. To piggyback on the above point about the Red Sox offense, it's not just the home runs. He was actually 1 for 7 in the Wild Card Game and Game 1 of the ALDS, but - after a two-hit night in Game 3 - he's now 17 for 29 with four doubles and five homers in the last six games. 213 average in the playoffs, Enrique Hernández is still out-of-his-mind hot right now. 250 during the regular season and previously carrying a career.
