"It doesn't surprise me," Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius said. "Guys are playing with a lot of heart here. I think it shows everybody we never give up. That's the way we played all year."

Game

Wednesday's critical matchup in the Bronx, featuring a rematch between Astros lefty Dallas Keuchel and Yankees righty Masahiro Tanaka, carries with it a significant footnote: Teams that win Game 5 following a 2-2 split are 13-3 since the LCS expanded to seven games in 1985.

The last team to go down 3-2 in the LCS and come back to win was the 2004 Cardinals.
