We've got humble guys in that locker room who understand, with great veterans that have been around the game a long time and are helping our young players in the process.

But again, this place has been really special for me Playing here at Citi is awesome. It's super fun. The fans are awesome, super passionate.

Both teams are fighting for a potential first-round bye and the Astros currently hold the tiebreaker over the Blue Jays after sweeping them in Houston near the beginning of the season.
Adam was carted off the Petco Park mound during this evening's loss to the Orioles (video via Talkin' Baseball). Gunnar Henderson hit a chopper up the middle.
