The Houston Astros are nine innings away from their first League Championship Series since 2005 after beating the Kansas City Royals 4-2 in Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Sunday evening.
Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel went seven innings, allowing one earned run on five hits and striking out seven. According to ESPN Stats & Info, his pitch count (124) Sunday was a season high. MLB.com's Richard Justice didn't underplay what he thought of Keuchel's performance:
You can watch years of baseball and not see anything close to as impressive as what @kidkeuchy did today.
