Who will be the Texas Rangers' starting pitcher?
For his part, Bruce Bochy will take Nathan Eovaldi to the box, the right-handed pitcher was key in Game 2 to extend the lead. He is known to be one of the safest pitchers that the Texas franchise has, as his numbers are extraordinary in postseason, as he has participated in 3 games (19 innings and two thirds) in which he has gotten the win.
Who will be the Houston Astros' starting pitcher?
Prior to the start of Game 5 between the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros, manager Dusty Baker announced Houston's starting pitcher for the sixth inning at Minute Maid Park.
As speculated, Framber Valdez will take the mound against Texas in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series.
The pitcher from the Dominican Republic has not had an expected performance in these playoffs. In two starts he has worked seven innings, which have given him nine clean runs.
How are the Texas Rangers coming along?
The Rangers will have to recover from the emotional damage caused by the Game 5 loss in the last inning, although manager Bruce assures that the team will bounce back, as they have weathered worse, from injuries to losing streaks, including the last game of the season where they lost the division title, when they fell to Seattle.
If they want to stay alive, it is extremely important that both Eovaldi and the offense make good on what they have shown in the first two ALCS games.
How are the Houston Astros coming along?
After winning all three away games against the Rangers, the Astros return home in search of the victory that will take them to their third consecutive Fall Classic and fifth since 2017.
The Houston ninth surprised at Globe Life Field by getting three wins in a resounding manner and against all odds, they are only one win away from being in the World Series.
The match will be played at the Minute Maid Park
Home of the Houston Astros, this stadium was inaugurated on March 20, 2000. The surface of the field is of natural grass and allows outdoor play, thanks to its retractable roof, being the first stadium in Major League Baseball to be closed.
This ballpark has a maximum capacity of 42,000 attendees and is located in downtown Houston, Texas, USA.
It is one of the most emblematic sites of Major League Baseball.
