The Astros benefit from some largesse from Boston’s pitchers as they issue 10 walks and hit 3 batters to win Game 1 of the 2018 ALCS, 7 – 2. Four of Houston’s five hits drive in at least a run, including a pair of 9th-inning homers by Josh Reddick and Yuli Gurriel that provide 4 insurance runs. Justin Verlander also temporarily loses the plate, issuing 3 walks and a wild pitch in the 5th to allow the Red Sox to tie the score at 2, before a hit batsman, an error and a well-timed two-out single by Carlos Correa off Joe Kelly puts Houston ahead to stay in the 6th.

A two-run homer by Justin Turner off Jeremy Jeffress in the 8th completes a comeback from a 3 – 0 deficit and gived the Dodgers a 4 – 3 win over the Brewers in Game 2 of the NLCS. The Dodgers overcome solo homers by Orlando Arcia and Travis Shaw, and a steal of a potential two-run shot by CF Lorenzo Cain, who snatches David Freese’s hit over the outfield fence in the 1st.
