The Houston Astros meet the Texas Rangers in Game 6 of a best-of-seven American League Championship Series on Sunday, October 22, 2023, at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.
It won’t be easy, though, considering their lackluster home record and a Texas Rangers team that will send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound Sunday night in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series.
Eovaldi is eager to face a Houston team that scored 23 runs combined in the last three games after managing just four in the two Texas wins. Houston manager Dusty Baker has long grown tired of questions about why his team is better on the road. As the most important home game of the year for the Astros approached, Baker was again forced to address it and asked whether he planned to address his team about it.
García, Abreu and Baker were all ejected. Both managers were asked if they thought emotions from that altercation would spill over into Game 6.“Man, I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t have no crystal ball. You don’t script that. It just happens.”While Eovaldi has been great for the Rangers this postseason, Houston starter Framber Valdez has struggled. The left-hander, who threw a no-hitter against Cleveland in August, is 0-2 with an 11.57 ERA in two playoff starts this season.
“It feels good, and I thank Dusty and I thank my teammates that I’m despite the two bad outings that I had before this,” he said through a translator. “It can happen to anyone, but it feels good that I do have the opportunity to be able to go out there to show that I can do what I’ve been doing and hopefully with God and hard work should be able to get there.”
Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien said its important for Texas not to get down after Friday’s difficult loss if the team hopes to force a Game 7. The Rangers opened the postseason with seven straight wins.
