Here are the takeaways as the Red Sox fell 5-0 to the Astros on Friday in Game 6 of the ALCS, ending their season in a grueling loss.
The Big Picture
The Astros tallied their first run on an odd play in right-center. Yordan Alvarez — whose name will come up a few times here — hit a deep fly ball toward the gap, but Kiké Hernández appeared to have it in his sights. At the last moment, something happened, and the ball glanced off his glove. Alex Bregman scored on Alvarez’s first double of the game.
