Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker is a believer in the curse of a live in-game interview after Boston Red Sox outfielder Kiké Hernandez hit a home run while Baker was talking to the Fox broadcast team in the third inning of the teams' playoff game Friday night.
The Astros were leading 1-0 in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at the time of the interview, and starting pitcher Framber Valdez had been rolling. The Hernandez homer sparked a three-run third for the Red Sox, leading Valdez to an early exit.
"I blame Fox for that," Baker told reporters after Houston stormed back for a 5-4 win.
