With Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium fast approaching, it’s time to take a look at the latest news surrounding the win-or-go-home matchup.
Johnny Cueto’s Dependability Questioned
Perhaps the biggest bit of news on Wednesday is the Royals stating that they could use a "quick hook" if starter Johnny Cueto gets into any trouble whatsoever, according to Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star.
Cueto will be watched closely by Royals pitching coach Dave Eiland, given the fact that he has been one of the Royals’ most inconsistent starters since being acquired in a July 26trade with the Cincinnati Reds.
