Throws four scoreless innings Greinke threw four scoreless innings in Saturday's World Series Game 4 loss against Atlanta, striking out three while allowing four hits and no walks.
Impact Greinke wasn't fully stretched out after suffering a neck injury late in the year, but the 38-year-old gave the Astros all he had for four strong innings. He was never in any trouble, as Atlanta couldn't even get a runner to second base in his four frames, but he was pulled prior to the fifth inning having thrown just 58 pitches. While the veteran did his job, his teammates did not, as the Houston bullpen wound up blowing the game, leading to a 3-2 loss.

Expected to start Game 4 Greinke is expected to start Game 4 of the World Series in Atlanta on Saturday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Greinke has been a starter for the vast majority of his 18-year career, but he suffered a neck injury in late September and closed the year in the bullpen. He's made two appearances in the postseason, one of which was technically a start, but those outings lasted a combined 2.1 innings. It's unlikely he'll be able to pitch particularly deep in Game 4, as the last time he reached even three innings in an appearance came back on Sept. 19.
