News about Bryan Abreu

As a result of the Houston Astros' loss on Monday night, Houston furniture store owner and noted sports analyst Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale was left out on a major cash prize. The Texas Rangers beat Houston 11-4 in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. McIngvale won $75 million last season after betting on the Astros to win the World Series, and he was expected to win at least $43.4 million if Houston were to repeat as champions.

During Game 5 of the AL Championship Series, Houston Astros pitcher Bryan Abrams was suspended for two games and fined by Major League Baseball, who said he intentionally threw at Adolis Garc of the Texas Rangers. All six umpires, according to MLB, knew Abreu's pitch was deliberate. MLB said, 'took into account the pitch's volatile nature and its potential effects on player safety.' If he appeals, Abby will begin his suspension with Game 6 on Sunday. His pitch started as a benches-clearing incident that resulted in a 12-minute delay before play was revived.

Garcia was irate after being struck by a pitch from Abby in the bottom of the eighth inning. He jumped right into the face of catcher Martin Maldonado and erupted. With players from both teams surrounded each other at home plate, both benches and bullpens were cleared shortly afterward. Jose Altuve, the Astros' ninth baser, took the lead after the order was restored in the ninth with a home run against Rangers reliever Jose Leclerc.

After playing for years in Japan, Masataka Yoshida has already made some mechanical improvements at the plate during his rookie season with the Boston Red Sox. They certainly paid the bill on Sunday. Boston roared to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 12-5 after Yoshida homered twice during Boston's nine-run outburst in the eighth inning. Since Hall of Fame slugger David Ortiz's debut in August 2008, he became the first Red Sox player to go deep in a single inning.

The Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 in Game Four and even the series, with just the second no-hitter in World Series history on Wednesday. Cristian Javier, a starter, went six innings and struck out nine, Bryan Abrams in the seventh, Rafael Montero threw a flawless eighth, and Ryan Pressley closed out the third no-hitter in MLB postseason history. After third baseman Alex Bregman fielded a difficult ground ball to win, Javier rushed to the mound and lifted Pressly in the air in celebration.
