Houston Astros stars Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa down Red Sox with homers in ALCS Game 1 win

HOUSTON -- Astros manager Dusty Baker had the highest of praise for his second baseman and shortstop after Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa fueled a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Friday night.

"It's kind of like Tom Brady and [Rob] Gronkowski," Baker said after the game. "They know how they think. They know probably what they eat for dinner, what they like and what their kids like."

Altuve's two-run homer in the sixth inning tied the game at 3-3 while Correa's solo shot in the seventh put the Astros in front for good.
