Indians-Astros G2: Lineups, matchups, FAQs
Carrasco, Cole set to face off HOUSTON -- Having blasted four homers to beat the Indians on Friday afternoon in Game 1, the Astros will try to take control of the American League Division Series when they send Gerrit Cole to the mound in Game 2 on Saturday afternoon against Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco at Minute Maid Park.
This isn't a must-win game for the Indians, but they would put themselves in a huge hole if they lose Saturday and fall behind 0-2 heading back to Cleveland. In the history of five-game series with the 2-2-1 format, teams that have won Game 1 at home have gone on to take the series 27 of 36 times (75 percent).
