The Dodgers would like it if they played 18 innings.

The home aggregation has won every bold of this series, with the Astros’ bats growing abnormally cold. For the series, they’ve about hit like a aggregation of nine Jon Lesters, and that’s not hyperbole. The Yankees’ starting pitchers accept been dominant, and their relievers accept followed the adapt to perfection.

As always, brace to get the latest updates (every 10-20 account or so), and annal to the basal if you appetite to apprehend these in archival order.

11:25 p.m. ET — It’s over, the Astros accept won, and there will be a Bold 7.

Ken Giles came in to save a six-run lead, which doesn’t accept cool ideal with the Astros arena tomorrow, and them acceptable to charge him for at atomic an inning, maybe more, but the Astros won.

Did I acknowledgment there will be a Bold 7? Gosh darn, those are fun.

Justin Verlander’s final line: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 BB, 8 SO. He is architecture a bequest that’s activity to be a lot easier to bethink bristles years afterwards he retires than, say, Dave Stieb’s. I’m not adage that’s fair. I’m aloof sayin’.

The home aggregation has won every bold of this series, and the Astros will accept Charlie Morton adjoin CC Sabathia, perhaps. Although MLB.com is appropriately not sure.

It’ll be a Johnny Wholestaff game, alright. We’ll see which aggregation is bigger able for that, admitting it would apparently be a accomplished lot easier for one of these starting pitchers to do what Verlander did on Friday night.

11:11 p.m. ET — We accept a cede fly, and the Astros lead, 7-1.

Game 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7 Bold 7

c’mon, sing it with me

11:06 p.m. ET — David Robertson threw 12 pitches, and he’s out. The acceptable account for the Yankees is that he’ll be accessible for a Bold 7. The bad account is that there will about absolutely be a Bold 7. Aback the Altuve home run, the Astros went double-single-double, and they attending animate again.

A affable admonition that this calendar should be absolutely freaking acceptable and fearsome.

It’s 6-1, and the Yankees accept three outs to accomplish up at atomic bristles runs, except there’s cipher out, at agent on second, and Marwin Gonzalez up. It’s accept to accept this is activity to get worse afore it gets better.

Dellin Betances is in, so ...

11:01 p.m. ET — The Astros accept an allowance run, and the abode is absolutely agitation because their bounded sports aggregation denticulate a fourth run. It feels like I’m watching the Giants.

Jose Altuve hit a Crawford Boxes appropriate off David Robertson, and the Astros are aback up by three, 4-1. Carlos Correa followed with a quick double, and they’re attractive for moar moar moarrrrrr.

Everybody wants a Bold 7, really. Abnormally the Dodgers. But additionally baseball admirers about the country. Bold 7s are the best. Unless you absolutely chase one of these teams, in which case, ha ha ha, you’re hosed.

Yuli Gurriel collection a brawl to appropriate for a single, and the Astros accept re-learned out to hit. You can say that in your best “Oh, somebody abstruse how to putt” articulation if you want.

10:55 p.m. ET — The Yankees are a win abroad from the Apple Alternation because of Gary Sanchez. There is no apple in which that isn’t true.

Still, he would like to bend his aftermost two at-bats into a ache and eat them. In his antecedent at-bat, he hit a check-swing roller on a 3-0 count, bailing Justin Verlander out. In his eighth inning at-bat, adjoin a ashamed Brad Peacock, he addled out on a 3-2 angle ... appropriate ... bottomward ... the ... piiiiiipe. It was the affectionate of angle you accept dreams about for the blow of your life.

Maybe it was bottomward in the bang zone, but still. That’s a angle you accept to be accessible for with two strikes and two outs.

The Astros are adhering to a two-run lead, and they accept three outs to get.

10:49 p.m. ET — Aaron Judge went boom. The Yankees are bottomward by two now, and the Astros still accept bristles outs to get.

Man, that doesn’t complete like a lot of outs, but accept me, it absolutely is.

10:47 p.m. ET — Justin Verlander is out of the game, which agency it’s time for the Astros bullpen!

Oh, be nice. Brad Peacock is in to assure a 3-0 lead, and he’s ... started with two beeline balls. Mercy.

10:30 p.m. ET — Two innings afterwards Todd Frazier became a GIF, abiding and everlasting, he collection the attached run to the admonishing track. THINGS WERE TENSE.

Verlander was ... enthused.

In the SB Nation Slack room, my official account was this:

a;skdfajozsdiufpaosidhfoasnbaKcmv

And I angle by it. Maybe not the basic “K”, because I’m not abiding how that happens aback you’re aloof mashing bottomward keys for effect.

But actuality was the situation: Justin Verlander was on the mound, and the Astros are appropriately afraid of the bullpen. He accustomed two runners afterwards recording an out, and because that Clayton Kershaw isn’t alike accustomed to detect the seventh inning, it was actual to admiration if this was it for Verlander.

Instead, he addled out Aaron Hicks on a gnarly slider in the 10th angle of their duel, got Frazier on the aloft play, and retired the ancillary aback Chase Headley ashore out to first. Justin Verlander was ... still enthused ... and the Astros are six outs abroad from banishment a Bold 7.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers are laughing, but we’re not afraid about that appropriate now.

10:17 p.m. ET — Not to get too alarmist, here, but Justin Verlander’s acceleration is down, and he absolved Greg Bird to alpha the seventh inning. The affliction allotment is that this is ashore in my arch now:

Verlander’s command and ascendancy are absolutely off, and his acceleration is down. So what’s preferable? The kerosene-soaked Astros bullpen, or a affronted Verlander?

Aaron Hicks aloof addled out for the aboriginal out of the inning, and Verlander is at 93 pitches, so we’ll see what A.J. Hinch prefers. The bank hit Verlander, not the added way around, and I’m not abiding any of us saw that coming.

10:04 p.m. ET — We had drama. And again it was gone, poof, aloof as bound as it had started.

In the top of the sixth, Chase Headley led off with a accommodation to centermost for a single. Ater two quick outs, Didi Gregorius singled aloof in advanced of Josh Reddick to put two on and accompany Gary Sanchez to the plate, apery the attached run.

Verlander got behind, throwing three quick balls, and the catechism was if Sanchez was activity to accept the blooming ablaze to beat 3-0.

He did!

Kind of. It was added of a chicken light. Sanchez arrested his beat and ashore out to short. Oh, how he was assured a fastball. Oh, how he got a curveball. I’m not abiding how abounding 3-0 analysis beat outs I’ve apparent in my lifetime, but it can’t accept been too many.

As is, the Astros still lead, 3-0, and Verlander has befuddled 75 pitches through six innings, 56 for strikes. He’s apparently activity the distance, but I assumption that’s up to the Yankees.

9:46 p.m. ET — Jose Altuve, acceptable to the resistance.

With two outs and the bases loaded, Altuve collection a band drive to larboard acreage for a single, active in two runs and giving the Astros a 3-0 lead. This is aloof the additional time they’ve denticulate added than two runs in the aftermost six games, and it has to feel boss cathartic.

Severino dug his own grave, walking three in the inning, alike admitting the Astros were allergic to hits. This was the aboriginal multi-hit inning for the Astros aback the ninth inning of Bold 2, which isn’t ideal. But they accept one now, and they’re aloof four innings abroad from banishment a Bold 7.

Severino is out, and Chad Blooming is in. It’s a abode bold for the Yankees, while the Astros accept Verlander sitting at 61 pitches through bristles innings.

9:39 p.m. ET — Uh, which is to say, the Astros are up, 1-0, afterwards a Brian McCann automated double. He hit it with one out afterwards Alex Bregman and Evan Gattis absolved beforehand in the inning. George Springer aloof walked, and the Astros are still threatening.

Gimme a sec.

9:38 p.m. ET —

9:25 p.m. ET — Todd Frazier, ha ha ha, swung, ahahahahaha, attending accord me a minute.

In the top of the fifth inning, Todd Frazier swung at a Justin Verlander action like he was aggravating to assure Bengie Molina in a hit and run. There’s no added way to alarm it.

Really, it’s a attestation to aloof how acceptable these players are that we don’t see swings like that all the time. Verlander throws 98, and he has a breaking brawl that looks like it’s advancing at your arch until it isn’t. How isn’t that the absence swing?

But it isn’t, and it abiding sticks out aback it happens. While I apperceive there’s a rumor activity about amusing media that Frazier angry into a colonnade of alkali and is no best with us, he’s still actual abundant in the game. You accept to admiration what he’s thinking, though. That was as burst bottomward as I’ve apparent a hitter all year.

9:13 p.m. ET — The Astros don’t accept a hit through four innings. I accept this agency that we’re on an official no-hitter watch.

If you’re afraid about me jinxing it, please. Accord me that power. No-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter. I don’t appetite to address about a no-hitter. I appetite to live.

Carlos Correa has a hit! Bless him. Also, jinxes aren’t real.

But this bold abiding is affective at a quick p ... actually, no, never mind, I don’t appetite to jinx it.

9:00 p.m. ET — Severino aloof fabricated George Springer attending like a bullpen with a 102-mph fastball on the alfresco corner. Springer coiled and missed, and, look, that’s what a animal actuality should do on a 102-mph fastball. We’re not advised to hit those. Anyone who does is a aberration and needs to be accountable to the Mutant Registration Act (don’t @ me, Magneto).

Severino will accord way to addition bullpen who throws 100, who will accord way to addition bullpen who throws 100, who ability accord way to a bullpen who throws 105. The Yankees, man. I’m not abiding why we were sleeping on them afore the season.

8:52 p.m. ET — Verlander accustomed his third hit of the black — COME ON, HINCH, WHERE ARE YOU — but none of them accept looked abnormally intimidating. Afterwards anniversary hit, Verlander has looked both affronted and dismissive, and he’s causually bedeviled every hitter for the blow of the inning. His aftermost out was a strikeout of Judge, who aloof couldn’t authority up on the breaking ball.

If you’re an Astros fan, the best part? Verlander is at aloof 35 pitches through three innings. That’s a angle calculation that Wade Davis brand to alarm “one bottomward in the eighth,” but we’re not actuality to blow accessible wounds. Verlander looks outstanding, as does Severino, and I’m so animated that we didn’t get one of those abortive accoutrement that comes with a casting antagonism this good.

8:44 p.m. ET — Luis Severino accustomed a airing in the basal of the second, but I affliction to acquaint you that the Astros do not accept a “hit,” per se. They were allotted two hits afore the series, and they’ve already acclimated one, so what added do you appetite from them? They’re extenuative it.

Severino looks filthy, of course, sitting at 98 like that’s a accustomed affair for starting pitchers to do, and he retired Alex Bregman with a darting slider that looked like a fastball for juuust continued enough. It was unfair.

Still not abiding if the Astros are blame up or if the Yankees are casting brilliantly. Erring on the ancillary of the latter, but it could be both, I suppose.

8:38 p.m. ET — Here’s the bifold play. It was like a thousand otters dancing on the top of the world’s prettiest piano, accord or take.

8:32 p.m. ET — Justin Verlander accustomed addition leadoff hit in the additional — c’mon, A.J. Hinch, LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE — but again he was absurdly ascendant to get out of the inning, arresting out Greg Bird and Aaron Hicks.

Between those two strikeouts, there was a continued fly brawl that beatific George Springer aback to area Tal’s Hill acclimated to be, but it was a 2017 low-seam special, not a absolute threat. It’s 0-0, with the Astros advancing to bat for a additional time.

8:20 p.m. ET — Ah, but Luis Severino didn’t alike acquiesce a distinct baserunner in his bisected of the inning, so who’s the absolute ace?

(B ... both of them? This is such a fun matchup. This is so abundant fun. I’m so animated to be actuality with you. Isn’t October baseball aloof the best, everyone?)

8:10 p.m. ET — With one swing, Brett Gardner has produced about as abundant breach as the absolute Yankees aggregation the aftermost time they faced Verlander, slapping a distinct to the adverse field. That brought up Aaron Judge, who addled out alert in four at-bats in Bold 2.

He didn’t bang out! Which is bad. He instead hit a grounder to Carlos Correa, who angry what ability accept been the niftiest bifold comedy of the postseason. There will be video advancing if I accept to hand-draw a GIF myself because, accursed it, that was one of the prettiest plays I’ve apparent in a continued time.

Didi Gregorius popped out to end the inning, and Verlander looks like, well, Verlander. We’ll see if the Yankees accept abstruse annihilation aback Bold 2.
