Rookies turning on postseason power supply

Postseason experience is a valued commodity, but so far this October, rookies are showing they can handle the big stage just fine.

The latest example came on Monday afternoon, when Carlos Correa slugged a pair of home runs for the Astros in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Royals at Minute Maid Park. That raised this postseason's rookie homer total to eight through 13 games, only one shy of tying a Major League record.
