The Houston Astros struck first in the ALCS on Friday night through a strong bullpen and timely hitting.
Houston used home runs from Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa to surge back into the lead in the final four innings. The Astros bullpen allowed a single earned run after Framber Valdez was chased in the third inning.
Game 1 provided us with a look into how the Astros could defeat the Boston Red Sox in a short span. Boston needs better pitching to keep it in the series.
The Red Sox will throw their best starter in Game 2, as Nathan Eovaldi opposes Luis Garcia.
