Kevin Kiermaier's three-run homer in the second inning in Game 3 of the ALDS supported what he said before the game about the need for early runs.
ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA - OCTOBER 07: Kevin Kiermaier #39 of the Tampa Bay Rays hits a three-run home run in the second inning against the Houston Astros in Game Three of the American League Division Series at Tropicana Field on October 07, 2019 in StST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Prior to Monday afternoon’s Game 3 of the American League Division Series, Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier said that his team would like to “score early and often today and give us a little bit of breathing room.
The Astros lead the American League Division Series, 2-1. Game 4 is Tuesday at 4:15 or 7:07, the latter time if the Yankees sweep the Twins on Monday night. The 35-year-old threw 32 first-inning pitches in Oakland and did not allow a run. On Monday, he threw 31 pitches in the opening inning, allowing only one run on a homer by Jose Altuve.
What was anything but frustrating was seeing Kiermaier launch one into the right-center field stands 407 feet away. Suddenly, Morton had a two-run lead with 32,251 towel-waving fans bringing the noise level to something that has not been heard in these parts in quite some time. After the Astros came within 8-3 with a pair of runs in the sixth, Willy Adames led off the home half with a homer. That gave the Rays four round-trippers on the afternoon to tie a team postseason record. They went deep four times in last week’s wild card win at Oakland and in Game 3 of the 2008 ALCS against Boston.
