8:17 p.m. ET: Yankees roar back to take lead in the eighth
The Yankees swung the calculus of this ALCS in one inning, scoring four in the eighth to storm back and take a late 6-4 lead in Game 4. Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez were at the center of New York's dramatic, potentially season-saving, rally. Judge's RBI double tied the game at 4-4, then Sanchez's two-bagger put the Yankees ahead, 6-4, and chased Houston closer Ken Giles, who recorded one out and allowed three hits.

7:38 p.m. ET: Judge's jolt gets Yanks on board
With one swing of the bat, the Yankees got on the scoreboard and chased Astros starter Lance McCullers in the seventh. The blast came from -- who else -- Aaron Judge, who cranked his second homer in as many games, this one a 427-foot shot to dead center, per Statcast™. Judge's solo shot left the bat 111.6 mph, per Statcast™, making it the hardest-hit home run of this postseason so far. Didi Gregorius followed with a triple on reliever Chris Devenski's second pitch and came home on Gary Sanchez's sac fly to make it 4-2. More >>

7:28 p.m. ET: Astros add on after error
Houston added another run in the seventh off Yankees reliever Chad Green. Marwin Gonzalez lined a one-out double, then scored when Starlin Castro couldn't handle a Brian McCann grounder. Castro's second error of the night gave the Astros a 4-0 lead. 

7:19 p.m. ET: McCullers stays lights out

7:09 p.m. ET: Yuli, like the way you look
The Astros finally broke through in the sixth inning, scoring three runs off Sonny Gray and reliever Player Page for David Robertson. Gray allowed the first two batters to reach on a walk and a catcher's interference before Yankees manager Joe Girardi replaced him with Robertson, who walked Jose Altuve and struck out Carlos Correa with the bases loaded. The next batter, Yuli Gurriel, rocketed a three-run double down the left-field line, breaking the scoreless tie. More >>

6:45 p.m. ET: We've got ourselves a duel
Game 4 is beginning to resemble Game 1 and Game 2 of this series, when runs were hard to come by and pitching ruled. Neither starter, Lance McCullers Jr. and Sonny Gray, allowed a run through five innings. They're doing it in different ways -- McCullers throwing an unusually high percentage of curves and Gray using his fastball nearly 75 percent of the time. Both are throwing their best pitches more than they did on average during the regular season.

6:29 p.m. ET: Not your average double play
Aaron Judge's leadoff walk gave the Yankees a baserunner in the fourth, but they were left without a run after a wacky play ended the inning. With one out and Gary Sanchez at the plate, Judge took off for second. Sanchez flew out to right fielder Josh Reddick, whose return throw to first seemed to double off Judge. Though Judge was ruled safe after a Yankees challenge, the Astros simultaneously realized Judge didn't re-touch second after passing it on his way back to first.
 
The Astros had to wait until the ball was live again to appeal the play. Judge realized this, and -- at the urging of manager Joe Girardi from the dugout -- broke for second before Lance McCullers Jr. could appeal or throw another pitch. McCullers stepped off and threw to second, where Judge was tagged out. More >>

6:17 p.m. ET: Gray bails out Castro

6:05 p.m. ET: Scoreless through three
Todd Frazier gave the Yankees their first hit with a bloop single to center in the third, but Lance McCullers Jr. stranded him at second to to keep the game scoreless. Both McCullers and Sonny Gray are doing a good job of keeping the ball on the ground early, inducing a combined 11 groundouts over the first three frames. 

5:45 p.m. ET: Starters trade scoreless second innings
The game remained scoreless through two innings, with Sonny Gray and Lance McCullers Jr. both keeping hitters off-balance with an array of sharp breaking pitches early. McCullers, in particular, threw 50 percent curveballs over the first two frames, over which he struck out two and didn't allow a hit. Carlos Beltran's second-inning double off Gray provided the game's first hit, but Gray stranded Beltran to keep Houston off the board.

5:23 p.m. ET: McCullers matches Gray
It feels like fall in New York, with a first-pitch temperature of 58 degrees expected to slowly decrease throughout the night. That didn't stop fans in pinstriped hoodies and scarves from warming up a packed Yankee Stadium in time for the game's scoreless first inning, over which starters Sonny Gray and Lance McCullers Jr. tossed a hitless frame apiece.

5:09 p.m. ET: Gray gets underway
Yankees starter Sonny Gray induced a groundout from George Springer -- which scattered a group of pigeons as it scooted across the infield -- for the first out of Game 4.

1:24 p.m. ET: The height of humor

1:05 p.m. ET: Yanks start Sanchez at DH for Game 4
Yankees catcher Austin Romine will make his first postseason start and bat ninth, while Gary Sanchez, who was behind the plate on Monday night, will be the DH out of the cleanup spot for today's late afternoon tilt. Manager Joe Girardi made his decision based on Romine's catcher's ERA numbers with Game 4 starter Sonny Gray, who works heavily down in the strike zone. 
In three starts with Romine, Gray had a 1.45 ERA and .543 OPS against. In eight regular-season starts with Sanchez, he had a 4.63 ERA and .767 OPS against.
"Sometimes it just happens," Girardi said. "Sometimes I can't explain why one catcher mixes with a pitcher a little bit better. To me, it also gives Sanchez a little break here. Sonny has tended to rough him up a little bit and beat him up physically. And this time of year I don't want our catchers so beat up it affects everything."
