*October 17 – The Houston Astros defeated the host New York Yankees, 8–3, to take 3-1 lead in the American League best-of-seven series. [[George Springer]] and [[Carlos Correa]] each slugged three-run home runs for Houston, while starter [[Zach Greinke]] allowed one run on three hits and four walks, striking out five in 4⅔ innings, but was not factor in the decision. Greinke was followed by five relievers and [[Ryan Pressly]] was credited with the win. [[Masahiro Tanaka]] was charged with the loss. By the end, the Astros heard nothing but the sweet sound of silence with Yankee Stadium virtually deserted.<ref>[https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA201910170.shtmlALCS Game 4 Box score - Astros at Yankees]..
