The Astros have built another impressive streak in the postseason by winning their first six games. Their 5-0 victory over the Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium on Saturday kept them undefeated in these playoffs and looking a substantial step above the competition.
In the first two games of the A.L.C.S. the Astros pitchers struck the Yankees out 30 times and in Game 3 they threw a combined three-hit shutout.
“They are really good,” said Aaron Boone, the Yankees manager, “and obviously it starts with their pitching. ”
The Yankees will ask Nestor Cortes, their popular starting pitcher, to answer that question as he takes the ball AT 6:07 P.M. Sunday night for Game 4 against Lance McCullers Jr. of the Astros.
Only one team in postseason baseball history has come back from an 0-3 deficit, the Boston Red Sox, who did it against the Yankees in the 2004 A.L.C.S.
Aaron Judge went 0 for 4 and left 3 runners on base. Judge is batting .156 in the postseason and is 1 for 12 in the three games against Houston.
During the regular season the Yankees won 99 games, relying heavily on home runs, and at times early in the summer they looked like the best team in baseball, with Yankee Stadium hosting nightly victory celebrations. But those happy feelings have been replaced by frustration and booing.
According to Justin Verlander, the Astros ace, Houston’s approach has been to offer no quarter, which has helped them remain undefeated n postseason play.
“All the guys, especially the guys who have been here, are just preaching to keep your foot on the gas,” he said. “You never know what can happen. Playoffs is a funny thing. Right now, we obviously have some momentum, where you’re playing good baseball. But zero complacency. That’s kind of the theme. Just come here tomorrow and try to win a game like we’re down 3-0.”
