The Boston Red Sox squared up the ALCS series at 1-1 on Saturday thanks to an early blast that saw them race into a 9-0 lead by the top of the fourth! A Grand slam in the first is a great way to start a game, however, when you get another in the very next innings you know it’s going to be your day.<\/p>\n

Houstons starting pitcher Louis Garcia didn’t make it past the first innings and finished with a stat destroying 45 ERA! The next pitcher up Jacob Odorizzi fared little better, giving up 7 hits as well as the Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

The Astros to their credit staged a bit of a comeback scoring 3 in the 4th and a couple on the bottom of the ninth which will at least give them some hope for the forthcoming road games.<\/p>\n
