Sliding into third base, Francisco Alvarez felt like his back "was on fire," before being helped off the field. He was feeling better after the game but will evaluate his status on Saturday morning. Another member of the walking wounded with a back injury, Francisco Lindor made his first start since September 15th and felt "good enough." A healthy Sean Manaea had a rare off-night, failing to make it out of the fourth inning. "We're fighting for our lives here. Doesn't feel good. Team is resilient and we'll get 'em tomorrow."
