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.
