The Red Sox look to push the American League Championship Series to a seventh game and prolong their slapstick up-and-down season behind Nathan Eovaldi—who else?—tonight in Texas against an Astros team searching for their third World Series berth in five years (8:08 p.m., FS1).
One game after Chris Sale quote-unquote left his balls on the mound in a Game 5 loss, the Sox are officially one game from having the 2021 season end just short of the game’s biggest stage. It’s altogether fitting that the season comes down to Eovaldi, because he’s been this year’s beacon of positivity and if they’re gonna go down, they might as well do it behind him.
