New York is down 3-0 in ALCS (American League Championship Series ) following 5-0 loss to Houston Saturday in game 3 in Bronx New York.

Following New York’s 5-0 loss in game 3 of the ALCS (American League Championship Series) to Houston in Bronx New York New York Manager Aaron Boone had this to say!

To win these games, you need a little something from everyone,”Sometimes that can be something small. Sometimes it can be something big. Sometimes it can be something unexpected. But we have people going out there that are certainly capable. A handful are struggling a little bit right now, but we’ve got to find a way against a very good pitching staff.”

Following New York’s 5-0 loss in game 3 of the ALCS (American League Championship Series) to Houston in Bronx New York Harrison Bader had this to say about fielding error charged to him!

Given the situation, it’s two guys going hard for the baseball,”I trust my glove; Judge trusts his glove. As soon as it’s hit in our area, you just want to go for it. We just didn’t hear each other.”

New York is now going to attempt to keep Houston from going up 4-0 in the ALCS (American League Championship Series)

Though,

If they want to prevent that they’re going to have a great start from Nestor Cortes, not have an error leading to home run like Harrison Bader’s error did on Saturday night giving Houston a 2-0 lead and the New York offense can’t go 0-6 with runners in scoring position like they did on Saturday night in Bronx New York.

Nestor Cortes, Lance McCullers are starting!

Though,

Could mother nature prevent Nestor Cortes, Lance McCullers Jr. from starting in postseason tonight?

I would say that is a possibility as there is a 67% chance of rain at first pitch before it turns cloudy with 49% chance an hour following first pitch before chances of rain increase to 61% at 9:00pm , 10:00pm

Nestor Cortes, Lance McCullers Jr. are different because Nestor Cortes is a left handed starting pitcher!

Lance McCullers Jr. is a right handed starting pitcher!

Nestor Cortes has a record of 1-0 with an earn run average of 2.70 in the postseason!

Lance McCullers Jr. has a record of 0-0 with an earn run average of 0-0 with an earn run average of 0.00 in postseason!
