The Boston Red Sox may have won a Major-League best 108 games in the regular season, but they find themselves with an 0-1 deficit in the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros after dropping a 7-2 decision in Game 1.
The defending World Series Champions led through the majority of the game and survived a tying rally by the Red Sox in the bottom of the fifth inning to take the lead again in the top of the sixth. The Astros took a 3-2 into the top of the ninth, and put the game away with home runs by Josh Reddick and Yuli Gurriel.
