Astros Reveal Lineup for Thursday's ALCS Game 4 With Zack Greinke on the Bump

The Houston Astros are looking to take their second straight game in the Bronx in the ALCS tonight after the rainout on Wednesday. Holding a 2-1 series lead, the Astros are sending Zack Greinke to the bump against the Yankees, and now we know his supporting cast.

Josh Reddick once again gets the nod in right field and will be batting ninth. Meanwhile, Robinson Chirinos returns behind the plate as Martin Maldonado heads to the bench. The rest of the lineup looks identical to Game 3.

George Springer is once again in the leadoff spot, followed by Jose Altuve, Michael Brantley and Alex Bregman. Yuli Gurriel hits fifth, followed by rookie phenom Yordan Alvarez. Carlos Correa provides some pop from the seven-hole, while Chirinos and Reddick round out the order.

The lineup will be up against the rock-solid Masahiro Tanaka who has been fantastic throughout his postseason career. He tossed six scoreless innings, earning four strikeouts and surrendering just one hit in Game 1.

The Astros are hoping to gain a 3-1 series lead and will be relying on Greinke to keep the Yankees hitters tame. He surrendered three runs across six innings in Houston's Game 1 loss at Minute Maid Park, and now he'll try to conquer the crowd at Yankee Stadium.
