This also changed the pitching outlook, but only one team changed their base game in Game 3. Astros give Lance McCullers Jr. ball as scheduled in Game 3, while the Phillies got a gift from Mother Nature as Ranger Suarez collected an extra day of rest after two big innings of relief during Game 1. The No. 3 starter throughout season, he will now take the mound at Citizens Bank Park in place of the originally scheduled Noah Syndergaard. Suarez was excellent in October, allowing just 3 runs (2 earned) in 9 2/3 innings. Some other key things to watch in Game 3: Jose Altuve might have snapped out of his October slump. The Astros star had three hits in Game 2, and if he’s truly woken up, that’s big news for the Astros. Meanwhile, Houston manager Dusty Baker is trying something new in his search for offense at the designated hitter position. He will give 26-year-old rookie David Hensley the start Tuesday night. He has a total of 18 major league games to his credit — 16 in the regular season and two in the ALDS against the Seattle Mariners. The game starts at 8pm on FOX. You can watch all the action here.
