The postponement of American League Championship Series Game 4 from Wednesday to Thursday allowed the Houston Astros and New York Yankees to reset their pitching rotations.
Instead of relying on their bullpens, the two best teams in the AL will call on Game 1 starters Zack Greinke and Masahiro Tanaka.
Both hurlers lasted six innings Saturday, but Tanaka looked much better, as he conceded one hit in the 7-0 victory.
Greinke allowed nine earned runs in two postseason starts. For Houston to take a commanding 3-1 series lead, he needs to contain the New York bats and match his counterpart before the relievers take over.
