Players of the Day for Thursday, October 17, 2019
American League
Houston Astros 8 New York Yankees 3
George Springer and Carlos Correa each knocked three-run homers and that was enough to squash the Yankees in game four of the AL Championship Series.
Springer unloaded off Yankee starter, Masahiro Tanaka in the third. Correa's three-run bomb was launched off reliever Chad Green. It was Correa's second homer of the series; Springer's was his first.
The result was the Astros with a 3-1 edge in the series, leaving the Yankees on the verge of elimination and the Astros poised to head to their second World Series in the past three years. Houston was the best team in baseball in 2017, defeating the LA Dodgers, four games to three.
The Washington Nationals await the winner of the AL series after sweeping the Cardinals four straight in the NLCS.
Game five is Friday at Yankee Stadium, 7:08 pm ET.
