Carlos Correa, Jose Altuve power Astros to ALCS Game 1 win over Red Sox

It took a few deep shots, and one massive celebration late, but the Houston Astros made it past the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

The Astros rallied back from an early 3-1 hole to beat the Red Sox, 5-4, at Minute Maid Park to kick off the American League Championship Series and take a 1-0 series lead.

Correa, Altuve hit homers late to lift Astros

The Astros got out in front early in the first inning when Yordan Álvarez brought Jose Altuve in on a sacrifice fly to put them up 1-0. Houston was in what looked like a perfect position to blow the game wide open in the second inning, too, after loading up the bases on starting pitcher Chris Sale.
