Statcast offers optimism for Houston’s offense

The Astros’ offense, one of baseball’s most dangerous all year long — including in their American League Division Series win over the Red Sox — has gone quiet in the AL Championship Series presented by Camping World. The Astros have scored just nine runs against the Yankees in five games in the ALCS, and were shut out, 5-0, in Game 5 on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. They now head back to Houston trailing the series three games to two.
