After dropping game one, the Red Sox knew they would have to jump out early on the Astros in game two. They did so in grand fashion. Boston hit two grand slams in the first two innings to give them an 8-0 lead. J.D. Martinez hit the first one with two outs in the top of the first, then Rafael Devers followed in the second with one out.
Enrique Hernandez also continued his incredible postseason run in game two going 2-for-4 with his fifth homer of the playoffs, a solo shot in the fourth inning. Hernandez is now batting an even .500 in 32 postseason at-bats.
The Astros did respond posting a three-run fourth inning. Then Yuli Gurriel and Jason Castro hit solo home runs in the bottom of the ninth.
Now the Astros will look to take another series edge in Boston. Jose Urquidy takes the ball in game three for Houston in his first appearance of this postseason. He went 8-3 on the season with a 3.62 ERA. Urquidy faced the Red Sox once this season on May 31st and allowed just one run over six innings of work striking out nine.
The Red Sox sill start Eduardo Rodriguez in game three. The lefty has made two starts this postseason going 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA.
