Astros Win Game 4
Houston’s bats went off and José Urquidy threw five solid innings as the Astros won Game 4 8-1. The World Series is now tied.
Sports Sunday!
According to @ESPNStatsInfo, the Astros win tonight means we’ll have our 1st and only Sports Equinox in 2019. On Sunday, the MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL will all be in action. This has only happened 20 times before. (Sunday will be 21) It’s never happened twice in a single year.

Did they dejuice the baseball? Did they rejuice the baseball? The answer is both, depending on the day. MLB seems to have very little control over the baseball's performance: sometimes it's the rocket ball, sometimes it's lead by comparison. https://t.co/SJtF5rhhcW pic.twitter.com/xliLlTfW3r
