Astros awaken for seven in 9th to tie ALCS. MORE:
Six outs from falling behind 3-1 in the best-of-seven series and facing a Game 5 in Fenway Park — where Boston hadn’t lost all postseason — the AL West champions instead guaranteed themselves at least one game back in Houston.In a series that had been dominated by offense — especially Boston’s — the teams traded first-inning homers and then both pitching staffs put up six straight zeros on the Fenway scoreboard before Altuve’s leadoff shot in the eighth.
After Alex Bregman hit a solo homer into the Green Monster seats in the first, Xander Bogaerts topped it with a towering, two-run drive onto Lansdowne Street in the bottom half to give the Red Sox a 2-1 lead.It was still 2-1 when Altuve homered against Garrett Whitlock. Game 2 winner Nathan Eovaldi, making his first relief appearance since he was coming back from an injury in 2019, came on for the ninth and gave up Correa’s leadoff double.And the Astros just kept on scoring.
The Red Sox thought they were out of the inning when Eovaldi's 1-2 breaking ball appeared to catch the plate for strike three on Castro, who entered as a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Nick Pivetta allowed just one more hit after Bregman’s homer before leaving with a 2-1 lead through five innings.
