ALCS 2: Red Sox 7, Astros 5

David Price did little to improve his reputation among a majority of Red Sox fans (4.2-5-4-4-4, 80), though he did avoid serious trouble and (with the assistance of Matt Barnes) kept the Red Sox in the game.

Boston's bats jumped on Gerrit Cole (6-6-5-2-5, 90) for two early runs and Jackie Bradley put the Red Sox on top to stay with a three-run double. Mookie Betts provided insurance in the later innings, scoring one run and driving in another. They were needed, because Craig Kimbrel did not have a smooth ninth inning.

But all that matters right now is the final score was in the Red Sox's favour and the ALCS is tied 1-1.
