Zack Greinke to take mound for Astros in Game 1 of ALCS vs. Yankees

HOUSTON -- Houston Astros pitcher Zack Greinke once again didn't have much to say at the podium on Friday, so AJ Hinch is hoping his actions are little more compelling on the mound.

Hinch named the pensive Greinke as his Game 1 starter against the New York Yankees for the ALCS, which gets underway Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.

Greinke, 35, will be making his second postseason start for the Astros. He struggled in Game 3 of Houston's ALDS series against the Tampa Bay Rays, giving up six runs in 3 2/3 innings.
