The ALCS got going yesterday, and now the NLCS joins in tonight.
On Friday, the Houston Astros defeated the Boston Red Sox by a 5-4 score in Game 1 of the American League matchup. Both teams’ bullpens worked overtime after early exits by their starters, and each lineup blasted a couple homers — two by Enrique Hernandez for Boston, and one each from Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa for Houston. The Sox built an early lead, but the Astros powered past them in the late innings.
The series continues Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.
