The Astros are perfect in this postseason, and churned out a 5-0 victory in Game 3 of this ALCS Saturday to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.
Our MLB insiders Bob Nightengale and Steve Gardner get you ready for the ALCS between the Yankees and Astros.NEW YORK — The matchup the New York Yankees – or at least their fans – pined for has turned into an overmatch., a record 18th trip to the American League Championship Series – is just nine innings from a quiet vanquishing at the hands of their tormenters.
They moved within one win of consecutive World Series appearances and their fourth in six seasons thanks to a familiar victory formula. And the attention to detail throughout – Vazquez’s perfect catch-and-release to nail Bader on a fifth-inning steal attempt, Yuli Gurriel tagging up from first on a fly to left, enabling him to score on Vazquez’s single – were all part of a nine-inning clinical dissection.
But the illegal sign-stealing that occurred throughout that season and revealed in 2019 cast a pall over that title and stuck to the Astros throughout their dominance since. Yankee Stadium, in particular, has been particularly hard, the home folks feeling their boys were cheated out of the ’17 pennant, and the Astros have caught endless grief here the past two years.
