Astros vs Athletics, 1:37 PM PDT, TV: TBS
The Astros lead the series 1-0. LHP Framber Valdez goes for the Astros and LHP Sean Manaea pitches for the Athletics. Valdez gave the Astros five scoreless innings of relief in Game One of the Astros’ matchup with the Twins. Manaea didn’t pitch in the Wild Card Series against the ChiSox; his lone start against Houston this year came on September 10 when he went seven innings and gave up just one run to them.
Yankees vs Rays, 5:10 PM PDT, TV: TBS
The Yankees lead the series 1-0. They’ll start RHP Deivi Garcia. The rookie will be the youngest Yankee ever to start a postseason game; Whitey Ford was slightly older than Garcia’s 21 years and 140 days in 1950 when he started against the Phillies in the World Series. Garcia will face RHP Tyler Glasnow, who made three starts against the Yankees this year going 1-1 with a 3.77 ERA in 14 1/3 innings.
Was out in the car going to the Radiology Dept at Tripler. Got done and back into the car just in time to hear the first of two 2-run HRS by the Rays. They lead the Yankees 5-1 in mid-game.
Machado walking in front of our catcher didnt help with the throw.
