Alright, let’s just get right to it. On Saturday, October 7, 2023, there were four games. In those, the Rangers defeated the Orioles 3-2, the Astros got a win over the Twins 6-4, the Phillies shut the Braves out 3-0, and the Diamondbacks destroyed the Dodgers 11-2. But I want to talk about the Astros. Justin Verlander and the Astros built up a 5-0 lead for six innings, but then Verlander had to leave. Héctor Neris took over in the seventh and got two outs, but then Jorge Polanco stepped up and hit a three-run homer to right field. Right after that, Royce Lewis went up and hit a 400-footer to left field and it seemed like there was hope for the Twins. But sadly, after Yordan Alvarez hit an off speed pitch off the foul pole, making the score 6-4, Bryan Abreu and Ryan Pressly combined for six outs, ending the game.
