ALDS

New York 4, Boston 5

This game started out all Boston. Chris Sale was dominant. The Red Sox chased New York starter, A.J. Happ after only two innings of work. The five runs Boston scored off of Happ would be the only scoring they could muster though. New York’s potent offense chipped away at the lead once they chased Sale in the sixth. Closer, Craig Kimbrel allowed a solo-shot to Aaron Judge in the ninth, setting up a tense final inning of work.

The two teams will play in Boston again today with New kork sending Masahiro Tanaka to the mound to face off against David Price.

Kluber blinked first, allowing a lead-off home run to Alex Bregman in the fourth inning. On the other side of things, Justin Verlander continued his run of postseason success. The Astros hit four home runs in the game, coasting to an easy victory in the opening game of the series.

Game two in Houston will be today . Cleveland will be starting Carlos Carrasco. The Astros will start Gerrit Cole.
