With his team facing a 2-0 deficit in the best-of-5, American League Division Series with the Houston Astros, Red Sox manager John Farrell was asked if he thought he was managing for his job.

"No," he said. "You know what, my focus has always been on what our guys need and how we go about today's game. You're one of the guys that reminds me how often it comes up, but it's not ... it hasn't changed my approach with our guys at all."

The Red Sox have been thoroughly outplayed in the first two games. The Astros held homefield advantage with matching, 8-2 victories.
