TOnight’s GAME: The Astros will continue their World Series title defense tonight in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox in Houston...this series, which features the two teams with the best regular season records in the Majors this season, will continue with a pitching matchup of RHP Charlie Morton opposite RHP Rick Porcello.

irresistible force paradox: The Astros (103) and Red Sox (108 wins) combined for 211 regular season wins, which ties as the second-most in any postseason matchup in MLB history...the 2001 ALCS between the Mariners (116) and Yankees (95) also combined for 211 wins, while the 1998 World Series between the Yankees (114) and Padres (98) combined for 212 wins.

the 2017 alds: This series is a rematch of the 2017 ALDS, won by Houston in four...the Astros won both home games in the series, lost Game 3 in Boston and closed it in Game 4...tonight’s pitching matchup is a rematch of that Game 4 with neither RHP Charlie Morton (2ER/4.1IP) or RHP Rick Porcello (2ER/3IP) factoring into the decision in the Astros 5-4 win.

charles in charge: RHP Charlie Morton is making his first appearance of the postseason tonight after having an All-Star campaign in which he went 15-3 with a 3.13 ERA, while posting a career-high 201 strikeouts in 167.0 innings pitched...Morton made himself a house-hold name in the 2017 postseason, winning Game 7 of the ALCS as a starter (0ER/5IP) and Game 7 of the World Series as a reliever (1ER/4IP).

championship series history: This marks the Astros second straight trip to the ALCS and their sixth appear-ance in a League Championship Series (1980, 1986, 2004-05, 2017-18)...the Astros have posted a 16-18 all-time record in the LCS, including last year’s sev-en-game ALCS victory vs. the Yankees, a series that featured wins in all seven games by the home team.

it’s a numbers game: The Astros will have their work to do after last night’s result...of the previous 21 Game 3s in ALCS history that occurred with the teams tied at one game apiece, the Game 3 winner has gone on to win the ALCS 16 times (76%).

at the helm: AJ Hinch has completed four seasons with the Astros (2015-18) with a 374-274 (.577) record and three playoff appearances...he ranks fourth in fran-chise history in regular season managerial wins and has posted the highest win percentage by an Astros manager...Hinch also leads all Astros skippers with 18 postseason managerial wins (18-12 overall record).

about game 3: The Astros dropped Game 3 last night by a score of 8-2...heading into the 8th inning, the Astros trailed just 3-2, but a five-run 8th, including a grand slam by CF Jackie Bradley Jr., put the game away for the Red Sox...LHP Dallas Keuchel (2ER/5IP) pitched well, but did not factor into the decision...DH Jose Altuve (2x3) and 3B Alex Bregman (2x3, RBI) led the way offensively.

back-to-back champs in expansion era (since 1961)Yankees (1998-2000) Reds (1975-76)Blue Jays (1992-93) Athletics (1972-74)Yankees (1977-78) Yankees (1961-62)

a happy place: The Astros dominated at home in the 2017 Postseason and have gone 2-1 in three home games in 2018, combining to post a 10-2 record in 12 home games over the last two postseasons...this includes two 8-2 victories over the Red Sox in the ALDS last season.

long balls: The Astros did not homer last night, snap-ping their streak at 14 consecutive postseason games with a homer, which is a Major League record...the pre-vious record was 13 straight games, also reached by the Astros from 2001-04...in that 14-game span, which dated back to Game 6 of the 2017 ALCS, the Astros hit 29 homers, including a four-homer game (Game 1) and a three-homer game (Game 3) last series.

springer has sprung: CF George Springer is riding an active 12-game hitting streak in postseason games, which is a franchise record, besting a 10-game run by 1B Lance Berkman from 2001-04...within the streak, which started in Game 2 of the 2017 World Series, Springer is hitting .404 (21x52) with five doubles, eight home runs and 14 RBI.

beat the best: 3B Alex Bregman has four homers in his last 13 postseason games and has six career postseason home runs in total, hitting those off LHP Chris Sale (2), LHP Clayton Kershaw, RHP Kenley Jansen, RHP Corey Kluber and RHP Trevor Bauer...all five of those pitchers are former All-Stars.

walkman: 3B Alex Bregman has posted a .714 on-base percentage in six games this postseason, as he’s reached safely on 11 walks, seven hits and two hit by pitches...he walked three times in both Game 1 and 2 this series, becoming the second player in postseason history with consecutive three-walk games, following Jimmy Sheckard of the Cubs in Games 2-3 of the 1910 World Series…Bregman’s 11 walks this postseason rank tied for second in Astros history in a single postseason, behind Lance Berkman (12 in 2005) and tied with George Springer (11 in 2017).

magic marwin: LF Marwin Gonzalez is leading the team in RBI this postseason, as he’s hitting .360 (9x25) with eight RBI in six games so far.

pressly’s greatest hits: RHP Ryan Pressly, who was acquired on July 27 from the Twins, is pitching in his first postseason and has made four scoreless appearances (4.1IP) thru the club’s first six games...dating back to Aug. 15, Pressly has made 25 consec-utive scoreless appearances, spanning 22.1 innings.
