Five reasons why the Astros won Game 3 of the ALDS, to lead the series 2-1:
- Dallas Keuchel: The left-handed ace didn’t lose a home game in the regular season (15-0) – and now one solid start in he hasn’t lost a home game in the postseason. Keuchel was his typical impeccable self in the cozy confines of Minute Maid Park, in allowing a lone run over seven innings, while striking out seven. His 124 pitches were second most in his career (128 against the Angels in May 2014).
- Jason “Clutch” Castro: The catcher best known for his defense made his first hit of the postseason count in a big way, with a two-run single up the middle that erased a 1-0 deficit and gave the Astros a 2-1 lead in the fifth.
