ICYMI: Schwarber, Red Sox slam Astros, take series lead MORE:
BOSTON — Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodríguez walked off the mound with a six-run lead and a message for Carlos Correa and the rest of the Houston Astros:Tapping his wrist to mimic Correa’s Game 1 celebration, Rodriguez rode four more Boston homers — including Kyle Schwarber's record-setting grand slam — to a 12-3 victory Monday night as the Red Sox took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven AL Championship Series.
One game after J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers each hit an early grand slam in Houston, Schwarber launched a second-inning 3-0 pitch 430 feet into the right field grandstand at Fenway.“Electrifying. It’s unbelievable," outfielder Alex Verdugo said."You can have a big swing and get four runs in on just that one play — it’s huge.
“They count as one ,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “We come back and win tomorrow and the series is even. You don’t like it tonight, but you come back in the morning.” Hernández, who has 18 hits during the playoffs and is batting .500 — both leading the majors — left the game after six innings. Rodríguez, who missed last season with COVID-19-related heart problems, retired the first six batters before running into trouble in the third, when Tucker made it 9-3.To the delight of the Fenway fans, who targeted him with profane chants after the 2017 World Series champion Astros were caught cheating, Jose Altuve struggled at the plate and in the field.
