It was a close one on Monday in Houston, but in the end, the Rangers kept doing the only thing they've done this postseason: win. Texas is 7-0 in the playoffs and up 2-0 in the ALCS.
Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi never allowed the Astros’ bats to get comfortable Monday. Through six innings, he allowed five hits, one walk and three runs while striking out nine batters.
In the second inning, Eovaldi conceded a solo shot to Yordan Alvarez. In the fourth, Alex Bregman took him yard. And in the sixth, Michael Brantley scorched an RBI double to score Alvarez. Brantley was the only Houston player to record more than one hit against Eovaldi on the day.The toughest moment of Eovaldi’s day came in the fifth inning. With the Rangers nursing a 5-2 lead, he allowed singles to Brantley and Chas McCormick.
All the runners were safe, and Houston had three men on with no outs. Texas pitching coach Mike Maddux came out of the dugout for a meeting with Eovaldi. He gave the pitcher an extended breather, and Eovaldi collected himself. The Astros' faithful were yelling at the top of their lungs as Yanier Diaz came in to pinch hit with hopes of cutting into the deficit. Instead, Eovaldi got him chasing a curveball out of the zone for strike three. Then came Altuve, whom Eovaldi made quick work of in four pitches. Finally, Bregman grounded out to third.The series is headed to Arlington. After a travel day Tuesday, Game 3 begins at 8:03 p.m. ET Wednesday.
