Immediately out the gate, the Astros were threatening. Jose Altuve led off the game with a sharp single to left field, George Springer followed with a walk on a 3-2 breaking ball off the plate, and Carlos Correa knocked a solid single to right field - his first career post-season hit, setting an Astros franchise record for the youngest player to ever record a hit in the postseason - to load the bases. Then, beyond the Astros' three best hitters, the difficulty to hit with runners in scoring position presented itself again.
