It’s Day 6 of the Championship Series and we’ve got ourselves exciting series in both leagues.
In the American League, the Houston Astros have come into Arlington, Texas, after going down 0-2 at home and tied the series. Can the Texas Rangers regain their lead or will the series shift back to Houston with the Astros one win from a chance to defend their title?
In the National League, it seemed as if the Arizona Diamondbacks might be done after getting shut out 10-0 by the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 at Citizens Bank Park, but the D-backs walked it off at home in Game 3 to bring the series to 2-1. Can they even the series with a win today?
We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know, from lineups to live in-game updates and analysis and takeaways from the ballpark after the final pitch.
