While the New York Yankees busted out the big bats in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday to earn an initial advantage over the Houston Astros, the Washington Nationals sewed up a 2-0 lead in their series to head back home with a daunting National League Championship Series edge over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Sunday's schedule
8:08 p.m. ET: Yankees at Astros, Game 2
