Live Updates: Astros Have the Yankees Down to Their Final Three Outs
Oct. 23, 2022, 8:15 p.m. ET
The Yankees don’t have much going for them entering Game 4 of the A.L.C.S., but at least the biggest arms in their bullpen are well rested. That means Manager Aaron Boone can be aggressive with his relievers with his team on the brink of elimination.
The right-handers Clay Holmes and Jonathan Loáisiga and the left-hander Wandy Peralta did not pitch in Game 3, a 5-0 loss for the Yankees. So look for Boone to make a move quickly if starter Nestor Cortes falters in the rain-delayed game on Sunday.
Houston Manager Dusty Baker, meanwhile, used the right-handers Héctor Neris, Ryne Stanek, Hunter Brown, Rafael Montero and Bryan Abreu to finish off a three-hitter that Cristian Javier started in Game 3. Closer Ryan Pressly is fresh, however, and Luis Garcia and José Urquidy could provide length out of the bullpen if Lance McCullers Jr.’s elbow gives him a hard time after an odd injury during celebrations in Seattle in the previous round.
