It was truly masterful. A perfect synthesis of body and mind.
Jose Urquidy seemed to know exactly what pitch to throw and exactly where to throw it, and he executed an amazing number of these pitches, leaving the Red Sox batters baffled - and scoreless through his seven innings of work.
Meanwhile, the Astros bats woke up after two quiet nights, getting twelve hits and their only home run of the series.
The Astros launched early against Red Sox starter Rich Hill. Jose Altuve greeted Hill with a single to left field and got to third on a Jeremy Pena double down the left field line.
