QUOTABLE
"It's been unbelievable. I haven't seen Aaron Judge Youth Jersey anything like it in Major League Baseball since I've been here. It
reminds me of college football games. They're going crazy the entire
game. It's a huge advantage for us, and it makes the environment
tremendous to play in." -- Chase Headley, on Yankee Stadium during the
postseason

The Yankees are trying to become the 14th team in history to rally from
an 0-2 deficit in a seven-game postseason series. Of the 13 teams that
came all the way back, four of those teams -- the 1985 Cardinals in the
NLCS and Brett Gardner Youth Jersey the '78 Yankees, '81 Dodgers and '96 Yankees in the World Series -- won
four straight to finish their comeback in six games.
History offers hope for Houston comeback
WHAT'S NEXT
Astros: Verlander gets the ball in Friday's Game 6 at Minute Maid Park.
The right-hander racked up 13 strikeouts in Game 2, yielding just one
run and going the distance while his teammates went to work in the ninth
and Mickey Mantle Youth Jersey staged a dramatic walk-off victory.
Yankees: Luis Severino will return to the mound for Game 6 on Friday in
Houston. Severino's previous outing in Game 2 was cut short due to an
overabundance of caution, as the Yanks thought he seemed to be rotating
his right shoulder awkwardly. The righty had permitted just one run on
two hits in four innings.
"This series isn't over," Houston skipper A.J. Hinch said following
Wednesday night's 5-0 loss in Game 5 of the American League Championship
Series presented by Camping World. "This game is. We're going to get
back to Didi Gregorius Youth Jersey Houston and get to an off-day with our families and come back ready to
play."
Hinch did not speak those words defiantly. Rather, he spoke as someone
who knows his team better than anyone.
This has been an amazingly fun baseball season in Houston thanks to a
team that won 101 regular-season games, and Hinch believes there's more
to come.
But there's no more wiggle room after the Astros were pushed to the
brink on Wednesday.
After the Astros won both games at Minute Maid Park last weekend, the
Yankees answered by winning all three at their home ballpark to take a
3-2 series lead and move to within one victory of their 41st AL pennant.
Game 6 will be on Friday in Houston, where the Astros have won 15 of
their past 17, including all four postseason games. That's their home.
'True competitor' Verlander set for must-win G6
"Yankee Stadium was rocking these three games," Astros pitcher Dallas
Keuchel said, "but it's going to be rocking on Friday for us." ?
