This is only Springer's third postseason. He played in six games during the Astros' 2015 run, and he was a starter for every game (18) during Houston's World Series run last year. In his last nine postseason games, Springer has hit eight home runs.
The Astros are trying to complete a sweep of the Indians to advance to their second consecutive American League Championship Series.
