HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa has been moved from seventh to fourth in the Houston Astros‘ batting order for Game 5 of the AL Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox.Astros manager AJ Hinch made the switch for his team’s must-win game Thursday night after Correa had three hits and drove in two runs in Game 4. It was the first multi-hit game this postseason for Correa http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-miller-jersey , the shortstop who has struggled with back problems for months.“At the end of the day he’s a middle-of-the-order bat. I’ve been wanting to get him back in the middle of the order,” Hinch said. “Why not now? There may be no tomorrow, literally.”Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland Joey Wendle Jersey , who injured his right hamstring in Game 2 of the AL Division Series, gets his first start in the ALCS.Alex Bregman was still in the leadoff spot for Houston and Jose Altuve was the designated hitter for the third game in a row because of his bruised right knee.“He’s playing on one leg. If this was the regular season there’s no way he could play,” Hinch said.“He’s not going to hurt himself any further http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-christian-arroyo-jersey ,” the manager said. “He’s part of our heart and soul so you’re going to have to drag him off the field.”Moreland didn’t play in the ALDS clincher against the Yankees, but made pinch-hitting appearances in each of the first four ALCS games.Second baseman Ian Kinsler was also back in Boston’s starting lineup, batting sixth behind Moreland against Astros right-hander Justin Verlander. Third baseman Rafael Devers dropped from fifth to seventh in the order. Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal believes the team failed Clayton Kershaw in its 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.Grandal told reporters the Dodgers "let down" their ace Friday night."He's out on the mound competing as much as he possibly can http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-nathan-eovaldi-jersey , and we pretty much just let him down," Grandal said. "I think that's the biggest thing."Kershaw only made it through three innings against the Brewers. The three-time NL Cy Young winner allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks.On a night where few things went right early for the Dodgers, Grandal was particularly bad behind the plate.He allowed a passed ball that enabled Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich to advance in the third inning after surrendering a first-inning passed ball. He was also called for interference when his glove made contact with the bat of Jesus Aguilar http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-daniel-robertson-jersey , wiping out a terrific diving catch by first baseman David Freese that would have been the second out in the third.After Hernan Perez hit a sacrifice fly in the third, Grandal was charged with an error after a missed catch on Cody Bellinger's throw from center field.Kershaw's postseason struggles have been well-documented. The southpaw threw 74 pitches against the Brewers after needing just 85 to get through eight innings in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves. His career playoff ERA sits at 4.26 over 26 appearances. He owns a 2.39 ERA in 318 regular-season games.
