Baker replaced A.J. Hinch, who was fired in fallout from the Astros\u2019 2017 sign-stealing scandal that also resulted in a one-year ban for Cora.<\/p>\n<p>Gavin Sheets connected for Chicago, becoming the third rookie in franchise history to homer in a postseason game. But Carlos Rod\u00f3n was knocked out in the third inning of his first start since Sept. 29, and the AL Central champions left eight runners on base.<\/p>\n<p>The White Sox also lost in the first round of the 2020 playoffs, dropping two of three in Oakland. Before this year, the franchise had never made consecutive postseason <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earances.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros are looking for the franchise\u2019s second championship after winning it all in 2017, a title that still evokes a strong reaction around the game after the team was punished for using electronics to steal signs.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd at Guaranteed Rate Field chanted \u201cCheater! Cheater!\u201d at times during the two games in Chicago, and White Sox reliever Ryan Tepera implied late Sunday night that Houston may have been stealing signs in Games 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>But the Astros, used to dealing with boos ever since the scandal came to light, brushed it all off. Asked about Tepera\u2019s comments after Game 4 was postponed Monday because of rain, Bregman responded: \u201cIt\u2019s all good. We\u2019re focused on winning games. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No kidding.<\/p>\n<p>Correa put Houston ahead to stay with his two-out double in the third, pulling Rod\u00f3n\u2019s high 0-2 fastball into left. The Astros loaded the bases on two walks and a fastball that hit Altuve, drawing a round of cheers from the crowd of 40,170.<\/p>\n<p>Correa pointed to his left wrist and then pounded his chest and yelled \u201cIt\u2019s my time!\u201d as he stood on second after the big hit in his 67th career postseason game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisrespectful words without facts,\u201d Correa said of Tepera\u2019s charge.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>That was it for Rod\u00f3n, who was limited down the stretch because of shoulder soreness and fatigue. Running his fastball into the upper 90s again after another extended break, the left-hander was charged with two runs and three hits in his first career playoff start.<\/p>\n<p>Houston added three more in the fourth for a 5-1 lead. Kyle Tucker singled and swiped second and third \u2014 the latter without a throw \u2014 before coming home on Mart\u00edn Maldonado\u2019s first hit of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Bregman drove in Maldonado and Altuve with his two-out double on a 3-0 pitch from Garrett Crochet. The left-handed reliever then struck out the lefty-batting Yordan Alvarez, ending the inning.<\/p>\n<p>The big hits by Correa and Bregman supplied more than enough offense for Lance McCullers Jr., who worked four effective innings after pitching Houston to a 6-1 victory in Game 1 on Thursday. Yimi Garc\u00eda got three outs for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Altuve punctuated Houston\u2019s big day with his 19th career postseason homer, a three-run shot off All-Star closer Liam Hendriks in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been here five times,\u201d Altuve said. \u201cAnd we just try to pass it on to the guys who are getting here for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sheets\u2019 drive in the second bounced off the top of the wall and over. Astros center fielder Jake Meyers crashed into the wall trying to make a leaping grab, and then departed with left shoulder discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>The White Sox lost their center fielder when Luis Robert left with right leg tightness before the Astros batted in the seventh.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
