I want a rematch!

The starters for Game 4 of the ALCS went at it in Game 1.

And it was a compelling edition of Texas hold ’em.

The Rangers’ Jordan Montgomery scattered five harmless hits over 6 ¹/₃ scoreless innings and the bullpen was spotless the rest of the way.

The Astros’ Justin Verlander gave up six hits over 6 ²/₃, but one of the six was a two-run Leody Taveras round-tripper.

The veteran Verlander is now 1-1, ERA 1.42 this postseason.

Montgomery is 2-0, ERA 2.08.

We’ve doubled down on the Space City Nine, so we need them to respond and take this series back to Houston.

Play $100 on Verlander and the Astros.

Good game. Bad result.

Brandon Pfaadt (5 ²/₃, 9 K’s) and Ranger Suarez (5 ¹/₃, 7 K’s) dueled and left the game scoreless.

Both teams picked up a run in the seventh inning.

Craig Kimbrel got himself in trouble, giving up a hit and two walks and nearly escaped until Ketel Martes’ hit won it.

Snakes 2, Phillies 1.

Our nice little run is as done as the Liberty.

Down -1,620 halladays.
