Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier will get the nod in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday in Texas against the Rangers as the Astros look to avoid falling down three games to none in the best-of-seven series. Javier will also be trying to hand the Rangers their first loss of this postseason. The 26-year-old won Game 3 of the ALCS against the Minnesota Twins by throwing five shutout innings with five walks and nine strikeouts. Javier will need to limit the free passes if he wants to remain spotless in his second road postseason start this year. In his lone start against the Rangers during the regular season on July 3, Javier had an outing to forget, coughing up a season-high eight earned runs (two homers) while striking out four in 4 1/3 innings in Arlington.

Cristian Javier Will Start Game 3 Of The ALDS On Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier is slated to start Game 3 of the ALDS on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins. Framber Valdez will start Game 2 on Sunday after Justin Verlander blanked the Twins over six innings during Game 1 on Saturday. Javier broke out in a major way in 2022, particularly in the postseason, but he's yet to find his groove during the 2023 campaign. The 26-year-old finished the regular season with a 10-5 record, 4.56 ERA, 1.265 WHIP, and 159:62 K/BB over 162 innings (31 starts). He'll have a chance to get his mojo back on Tuesday in Minnesota.
