The Astros will open Game 6 of the AL Championship Series with right-handed reliever Brad Peacock on the mound Saturday night in Houston.

The Astros lead the best-of-seven series against the New York Yankees, 3-2.

Both teams arrived in Houston on Saturday morning, just hours after the Yankees stayed alive in the series with a 4-1 Game 5 win.

Peacock actually closed out Friday night's contest in New York, pitching a scoreless inning of relief after starter Justin Verlander went the first seven innings.

Peacock will be the fourth pitcher ever to finish a postseason game and start the next day on zero days' rest, and the first since 1924, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

The Yankees also will be using their bullpen in Game 6, but have yet to announce who will open.

Astros lineup for Game 6: 1. CF George Springer; 2. 2B Jose Altuve; 3. LF Michael Brantley; 4. 3B Alex Bregman; 5. 1B Yuli Gurriel; 6. SS Carlos Correa; 7. DH Yordan Alvarez; 8. C Martin Maldonado; 9. RF Josh Reddick
