Detroit Tigers pitcher Mike Fiers and Boston Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez are good friends Burch Smith Jersey , but Fiers suggested Saturday that Martinez didn't want to face him.After Fiers allowed seven hits, three walks and no runs while striking out six over 6.1 innings in a 5-0 win over Boston on Saturday, he badgered his buddy, according to Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press: "He ducked me today. He had been talking about that all year and I think he told [Red Sox manager Alex] Cora to get a day off against me."MLB.com's Jason Beck confirmed that Fiers was simply teasing his former college teammate.Fiers and Martinez both attended Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before enjoying success in Major League Baseball.Martinez, who is in the midst of his first season with the Red Sox, is putting up MVP-caliber numbers with a .325 batting average, 29 home runs and 80 RBI.Meanwhile, Fiers has been solid in his first season with the Tigers Blaine Boyer Jersey , as he is 7-6 with a 3.49 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 111 innings.Per Will Burchfield of 97.1 The Ticket, the career matchup between Martinez and Fiers is decidedly one-sided, as Martinez is 7-for-14 with two home runs and two doubles.It is possible that Martinez and Fiers could be reunited in the coming weeks, as ESPN's Buster Olney reported that the Red Sox were among the teams evaluating Fiers as a potential trade acquisition ahead of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.Fiers did not make the Houston Astros' postseason roster in 2017 after struggling during the regular season, but he could be a good option for the back end of Boston's rotation heading toward the playoffs by virtue of his bounce-back year.For now, the Red Sox will focus on ensuring Martinez is 100 percent, as his off day came after he crashed into the wall during Friday's win over the Tigers. After squaring their American League Championship Series with a nail-biting 7-5 victory in Game 2, the Boston Red Sox are going to attempt to keep their postseason road winning streak intact.The Red Sox clinched the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees with back-to-back wins at Yankee Stadium. Now they have to beat the Astros at least once on the road if they are going to advance to the World Series.The Red Sox will send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound at Minute Maid Park, and he will face Dallas Keuchel of the Astros. Eovaldi was a midseason acquisition of the Red Sox in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays.The 28-year-old was 6-7 with a 3.81 earned-run average this season, and he was brilliant for Boston in the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees.He allowed five hits and one run in seven innings Trevor Cahill Jersey , and the key to his performance was his control. He did not walk a batter and struck out five while dominating the strike zone throughout the night.Eovaldi has a career record of 1-1 with a 3.19 ERA against the Astros.Keuchel was 12-11 with a 3.74 ERA, and he has been a mainstay for the Astros during the last three seasons. The 30-year-old gave up two earned runs in five innings in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Cleveland Indians. The Houston mainstay has a career 3.28 postseason ERA in nine starts.American League Championship SeriesScheduleGame 1: Astros 7,Red Sox 2; Astros lead 1-0Game 2: Red Sox 7, Astros 5; Series tied 1-1Game 3: Red Sox at Astros; Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 5:09p.m. ET on TBSGame 4: Red Sox at Astros; Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 8:39p.m. ET on TBSGame 5: Red Sox at Astros; Thursday, Oct. 18 at 8:09p.m. ET on TBS*Game 6: Astros at Red Sox; Saturday, Oct. 20 at 5:09p.m. ET on TBS*Game 7: Astros at Red Sox; Sunday, Oct. 21 at 7:39p.m. ET on TBS*If necessary.The Red Sox hope to do what the Milwaukee Brewers did Monday night, as the Crew went on the road after splitting the first two games at home and won Game 3.Pitcher List PitcherListquot;How did Jhoulys Chacin perform so well?quot;Showcasing perfect command like this slider to Max Muncy.Right. On. The. Corner. Yk5AZbNzzHThe Brewers received brilliant pitching from starter Jhoulys Chacin and four relievers as they shut down the Dodgers by a 4-0 score.Orlando Arcia Melky Cabrera Jersey , who hit three home runs during the regular season, struck his third long ball of the postseason for the Brewers.The Brewers were in firm control from the start as the Dodgers hitters could not mount any kind of serious attack against the Milwaukee pitchers until the ninth inning. Jeremy Jeffers gave up two ninth inning hits and a walk to load the bases, but he struck out Brian Dozier with the bases loaded to end the game.Chacin pitched 5.1 innings and gave up just three hits and two walks. Corey Knebel did not allow a base runner in 1.2 innings, and Joakim Soria retired the only hitter he faced in the eighth inning.Ace left-handed reliever Josh Hader got the final two outs of the eighth, and Brewers manager Craig Counsell decided the four-run cushion was large enough that he did not have to use Hader for the ninth.The Brewers survived that decision, but the bases-loaded situation created quite a bit of angst.Knebel credited Chacin for his dominant start. "The guy is a beast," he told Fran Charles of the MLB Network. "He is attacking hitters. We all know how tough that lineup is over there. Chacin doesn't care and he just does his job."The Dodgers will try to avoid falling into a 3-1 hole by winning Game 4 at home Wednesday night. Manager Dave Roberts will send Rich Hill to the mound to get that victory, while the Brewers will depend on their bullpen to get the job done.Counsell will give the ball to Gio Gonzalez to start, and a parade of relievers are likely to follow.National League Championship SeriesScheduleGame 1: Brewers 6, Dodgers 5; Brewers lead 1-0Game 2: Dodgers 4 http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , Brewers 3; Series tied 1-1Game 3: Brewers 4, Dodgers 0, Brewers lead 2-1Game 4: Brewers at Dodgers; Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 9:09p.m. ET on FS1Game 5: Brewers at Dodgers; Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 5:05p.m. ET on FS1*Game 6: Dodgers at Brewers; Friday, Oct. 19 at 8:39p.m. ET on FS1*Game 7: Dodgers at Brewers; Saturday, Oct. 20 at 9:09p.m. ET on FS1*If necessary.NBC Sports NBCSportsNathan Eovaldi to start Game 3 of the ALCS for the Red Sox. b3gBVASKM4 M41MepdchSPredictionsThe Red Sox and Astros are likely to throw figurative punches at each other for seven games. Boston must win one of the next three games in Houston to get the ALCS back to Fenway Park, and we expect that to happen.However, the Astros appear to have the advantage in Game 3 with Keuchel over Eovaldi.Keuchel has been on the postseason stage many times, and while Eovaldi performed well against the Yankees Ian Kinsler Jersey , the Astros can dominate against the fastball, and it will be difficult for the Red Sox starter to hold them in check.The Red Sox will win one of the following two games in Houston and then finish the series with victories in Games 6 and 7 at home.The Brewers answered quite a few questions with their Game 3 win in Los Angeles. Their 12-game winning streak ended with their Game 2 loss at Miller Park, but the Brewers came back with a sharp victory in Game 3.The Dodgers are facing near-desperation after losing Game 3, and they will find a way to win Game 4.This is also a seven-game series, and the Brewers will survive and advance as they win their first National League pennant and progress to their second World Series. (The Brewers were in the American League when they made it to the 1982 World Series).
