Clinging to a one-run advantage on Evan Gattis' fourth-inning homer, AL batting champion Jose Altuve sent another out in the fifth, a one-out solo shot that soared over fellow AL MVP Award candidate Aaron Judge into the right-field seats.
It was the fifth homer of this postseason for Altuve, who struck a 1-1 changeup to the opposite field for his second homer in as many days in this ALCS presented by Camping World.
The Astros kept at it with back-to-back singles from Carlos Correa and Yuli Gurriel.
