PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 Charlie Morton to the rescue, again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Kevin Kiermaier hit a go-ahead, three-run homer as Tampa Bay teed off on Zack Greinke, and the Rays got another clutch playoff performance from Morton to beat the Houston Astros 10-3 Monday and cut their AL Division Series deficit to 2-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Facing the team he helped win the World Series two years ago, Morton allowed one run and three hits while striking out nine over five innings. The 35-year-old right-hander is 4-0 with an 0.95 ERA in four career elimination starts, including last week\u2019s wild-card win at Oakland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s just what Charlie\u2019s done all year,\u201d manager Kevin Cash said. \u201cHe\u2019s got that knack for doing some special things for us, and he did it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Astros manager AJ Hinch announced after the game that Houston will start Justin Verlander on three days of rest in Game 4 of the best-of-five matchup at Tropicana Field on Tuesday. Tampa Bay will use Diego Castillo as an opener.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHe\u2019s one of the best pitchers in the world. No more complicated than that,\u201d Hinch said of Verlander. \u201cHe\u2019s ready, and it\u2019s his game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Kiermaier got the wild-card Rays going with his long home run in the second inning. Ji-Man Choi and Brandon Lowe added solo shots off Greinke, who has never won in Tampa Bay, and Willy Adames added a solo blast against Wade Miley in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Tampa Bay\u2019s four home runs matched a franchise record for a postseason game. The Rays also went deep four times against the Boston Red Sox during the 2008 AL Championship Series and did it again during last week\u2019s 5-1 wild-card victory against the Athletics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cFor us to put three runs on the board, that felt great. That was huge for us,\u201d Kiermaier said. \u201cAfter that, it\u2019s just, \u2018Hey, Charlie Morton, go do your thing, go do what you do.\u2019 And he did just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Jose Altuve homered for the Astros, who are one victory away from their third straight appearance in the ALCS, and had two of Houston\u2019s three hits off Morton. It was Altuve\u2019s 10th career postseason home run, tied with Chase Utley for the most by a second baseman in major league history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Morton, who won 29 games for Houston over two seasons before joining the Rays as a free agent last offseason, departed with an 8-1 lead. Four relievers finished the combined seven-hitter for the Rays, who have never been swept in a playoff series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Now, they must avoid being \u201cVerlandered\u201d \u2014 a term coined by Cash after the series opener \u2014 in Game 4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHe\u2019s tough. We\u2019ve got to enjoy what we accomplished today and certainly hope we can have better at-bats, production, get something going against him,\u201d Cash said. \u201cWe\u2019ll worry about that (Tuesday). Right now, the guys are pretty pumped about what they just did tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Verlander, who pitched seven scoreless inning to win Game 1, has only started on fewer than the standard four days of rest once. That was in the 2011 ALDS, when his first appearance was limited to one inning by rain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThe thought process is five-game series are pretty crazy and we\u2019ve got to win. Never know what can happen,\u201d Verlander said. \u201cYou can\u2019t put all your eggs in one basket and say if we lose tomorrow, we\u2019ve got Justin and Gerrit (Cole) for Game 5. It\u2019s a crazy game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Astros won the first two games with a pair of dominating pitching performances from Verlander and Cole, who combined to limit the Rays to one unearned run and five hits with 23 strikeouts over 14 2\/3 innings. Houston\u2019s other pitchers have allowed 12 earned runs in 11 1\/3 frames, an ERA of 9.53.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With Morton on the mound, and returning home for the first playoff game at Tropicana Field in six years, the Rays were confident they would find a way to get back into the series against Greinke, an 18-game winner who was 8-1 with a 3.02 in 10 starts after being acquired from Arizona at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Kiermaier\u2019s homer to right-center whipped a sellout crowd of 32,251 waving bright yellow rally towels \u2014 more than twice the 14,734 the Rays averaged during the regular season \u2014 into a frenzy. The party continued when Choi homered with two outs in the third and Lowe led off the fourth with an opposite-field shot that made it 5-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Morton, meanwhile, remained perfect in potential postseason elimination games, including a pair of Game 7 victories during Houston\u2019s 2017 World Series run. He shrugged off yielding Altuve\u2019s homer and throwing 31 pitches in the first inning to hold the Astros potent lineup in check while his offense was building a comfortable lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019ve seen this out of Charlie,\u201d Hinch said. \u201cWhen you get him early, get some opportunities early, you have to maximize them if you can. Same thing he did in the wild-card game. He settled in nicely and got them through five innings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">GREINKE\u2019S STRUGGLES<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In six career regular season appearances at Tropicana Field, including five starts, Greinke is 0-4 with a 4.45 ERA. His start Monday was his first at the domed stadium since May 2, 2010, when he was a member of the Kansas City Royals. Including Monday, he\u2019s allowed eight homers in 36 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Greinke was pulled after 61 pitches, and his ERA over 12 career postseason starts rose to 4.58.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">HOMER STREAK<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Astros have homered in 28 consecutive games, including the first three of the ALDS. It\u2019s the second-longest streak in major league history. The New York Yankees homered in 31 straight games from May 26 to June 30 of this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Cash plans to play matchups with his bullpen after Castillo in Game 4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/rays-pummel-greinke-morton-clutch-vs-astros-to-win-game-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Charlie Morton (50) throws during the first inning of Game 3 of a baseball American League Division Series against the Houston Astros, Monday, Oct. 7, 2019, in St. Petersburg, Fla.
