Game One of the ALCS between the Red Sox and Astros featured several notable plays at second base. In the first inning, Jose Altuve was erased when Mookie Betts made a ridiculous toss from shallow right field. While originally called safe, a replay challenge by the Red Sox determined that Xander Bogaerts maintained contact with the bag and Altuve was ruled out.
A similar scenario unfolded in the third inning, when Alex Bregman worked a leadoff walk against Chris Sale. With one out, Bregman made a break for second base, but he couldn’t outrun Sandy Leon’s throw.
