Springer unloads first postseason homer

THE MODERATOR: We'll get started with Astros manager A.J. Hinch.

Q. Just talk about where Gomez is at and how you plan to use him these two games.
A.J. HINCH: Gomez is continuing to get treatment. He came in yesterday on the off day and got treatment. He got treatment all day today.

This guy's battling through some soreness, and I took it out of his hands and decided that I was going to play him one of these first two games. I'm aiming for tomorrow. But we'll see how tonight goes. He's available and wants to play.
