ALCS
Boston 4, Houston 5 (HOU leads 1-0)
Neither starter made it out of the third inning. The Red Sox carried a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the sixth, but Houston’s potent offense was too much for Boston’s bullpen to keep them quiet for 5= innings, as they allowed four runs over the final three frames.

An abbreviated start by Framber Valdez and some sloppy play both offensively and defensively were not enough to sink the Astros. Houston survived early adversity that saw them fall behind 3-1, coming back late, thanks to home runs by Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa.
Kike has Big Night, Baker Blames FOX
