The Boston Red Sox drew even with the Houston Astros in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series with a 7-5 win on Sunday at Fenway.
It wasn't all about Mookie Betts. But Betts played a starring role, and that's a big deal for Boston going forward.
Entering the game, Betts—the probable AL MVP—owned a .653 OPS with just two RBI in 52 career playoff plate appearances. Despite his considerable regular-season success, he'd yet to carve his October mark.
That changed in Game 2, as Betts went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a pair of runs scored.
