In cruising to a 10-1 victory over the White Sox in Tuesday's Game 4, the Astros secured their fifth straight ALCS appearance, capping off a dominant performance in which they outscored Chicago 31-18 in the series. While their play on the field made a bold statement, it was the discussion off of it that drew plenty of attention.
White Sox reliever Ryan Tepera kicked off the verbal sparring following Chicago's 12-6 win in Game 3, insinuating that Houston didn't hit as well on the road and was doing some "sketchy stuff" during home games at Minute Maid Park.
