LEADING: Astros in defense, Kershaw's last turn for LA?
LEADING: Astros in defense, Kershaw's last turn for LA?
A look at what is happening around the majors today:
Spygate the sequel
The Houston Astros could find themselves defending more than their World Series title. The champions are under scrutiny after Cleveland filed a complaint to Major League Baseball about a man associated with Houston who was trying to film in the Indians dugout during Game 3 of the AL Division Series last week, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Tuesday night due to the sensitivity of the matter. MLB also says it is aware of a Metro Boston report that a man claiming to be an Astros employee was removed from an accredited area near the Red Sox dugout during the opening of the AL Championship Series at Fenway Park.
In a statement, MLB said the matter "will be handled internally" and offered no other details.
Astros manager AJ Hinch was questioned about the Metro report after Tuesday's game and said he was aware of the alleged incident, but said he had not been informed. Surely he will be asked again, especially because the Indians' complaint was not reported until after Hinch had finished his post-match comments.
LAST LOOK?
Clayton Kershaw starts Game 5 of the National League Championship Series at home against Milwaukee in what could possibly be his final outing with a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform. The three-time Cy Young Award winner may choose not to participate in the last two years and $ 70 million remaining in his contract after the World Series. The Dodgers property has made it clear that the team would like their long-running ace to stay. "I have not made a decision," Kershaw said Tuesday. The 30-year-old lefty recognized after his last start of the regular season that he had considered the possibility of his last round with the Dodgers, the only team he played during his career in the big leagues. Wade Miley throws for Milwaukee in three days of rest, with the series to the best of seven tied in two games each one. "For me it's just trying to concentrate as much as I can on the Brewers and get ready," Kershaw said, "and put everything else on the back burner to the best of my ability."
EXTRA BREAK
Houston hopes Charlie Morton is not rusty when he makes his playoff debut in 2018 in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against Boston. Morton, who spent time on the disabled list at the end of the year with shoulder discomfort, has not pitched since the end of the regular season on September 30. Rick Porcello starts for the Red Sox after appearing in relay in Game 2. Boston leads 2-1 after a grand slam by Jackie Bradley Jr., his second big hit in the series, opened an 8-2 victory in the Game 3.
GET DIRTY
Tensions could rise in the NLCS after Dodgers hitter Manny Machado got into trouble again on Tuesday night. Both banks emptied after Machado cut the back leg of Milwaukee's first baseman, Jesus Aguilar, while he ran out of a game in Game 4. Aguilar left his foot in the base for a moment after Machado was already outside, and the short star hostel seemed to show his displeasure by with the left foot forward and kicking Aguilar in the back of the leg. Aguilar seemed annoyed and the two exchanged words, but no punches were thrown. "He's a player who has a history of that kind of incident," Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said of Machado. "It's a dirty game by a dirty player." Aguilar, however, said the two spoke after Machado hit a single in the 13th. Entry. "We are a family, things happen," said Machado, who scored the winning race moments later. "He's a great guy, we came back from the minor leagues."
HELP WANTED
Milwaukee is expected to add a new arm for the rest of the NLCS after starter Gio Gonzalez left Game 4 in the second inning when he twisted his ankle to attempt a single inside the Yasiel Puig box. Gonzalez has a sprained high ankle and is likely to be replaced on the list, said manager Craig Counsell. After Gonzalez's injury, the Brewers burned much of their bullpen during a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers in 13 innings. "We'll have to put our heads together and see what we have," Counsell said. "We are in a difficult place, for sure".
