Trailing 2-1 in the best-of-seven series, Houston must win one of the next two games to send the series back to Texas, where it will be decided.

In search of their footing, the American League champs got it from former MVP Jose Altuve, “the heart and soul of what we do,” Hinch said. Altuve doubled and scored twice in the first five innings.
