VIDEO: Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel Hit Tyler Glasnow Hard to Give Astros 4-0 Lead
By Mark Powell
In a matchup of former Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers, expect Gerrit Cole to be the last man standing in Game 5. Tyler Glasnow's first inning was downright putrid, with former MVP Jose Altuve getting things started with an RBI single to drive in George Springer.

With Altuve applying even more pressure on Glasnow, MVP candidate Alex Bregman drove home two more with an RBI double into the gap.

Yuli Gurriel added an RBI single to give the Stros a commanding four-run advantage with their Cy Young candidate on the mound. The Rays need a quick answer.
