The Red Sox's bats are coming alive at the right time as Boston eyes its fifth World Series appearance in the 21st century.
Boston jumped out to a 2–0 lead against the Astros in the second inning on Monday night as the Red Sox looked to seize a 2–1 lead in the ALCS. And after loading the bases against Houston starter Jose Urquidy, Boston really did some damage.
First baseman Kyle Schwarber blasted a grand slam on a 3-0 fastball from Urquidy, giving Boston a 6-0 lead. The dinger wasn't a rarity for the Red Sox in the ALCS.
