Another big Boston sports doubleheader, another pair of wins.
The Red Sox took a 2-1 lead over the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series on Tuesday night behind another stellar Game 3 start by Nathan Eovaldi. But it was the towering 8th-inning grand slam by Jackie Bradley Jr. — who also came through with the bases loaded in Game 2 — that broke the game open.
As the Sox closed out their 8-2 victory, the Celtics opened the NBA season with a commanding 105-87 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
