The Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox resume their American League Division Series with Game 2 on Friday afternoon at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
The Astros took Game 1 on Thursday behind three home runs from Jose Altuve and a strong pitching performance by Justin Verlander, and they look to take the series to Boston with a commanding 2-0 series advantage.
Dallas Keuchel starts Game 2 for the Astros, making his third career postseason start. In his Cy Young Award-winning season in 2015, Keuchel had a 2.57 ERA in three playoff appearances and won both of his starts, including allowing one run in seven innings in Game 3 of the ALDS at home against the Kansas City Royals.
“This crowd is the trick. Especially with the roof closed, it feels like there's about 90,000 people instead of 40, 45,000” Keuchel said on Thursday. “I told some of the guys for the first time I said, Get ready because you're going to need some earplugs. I wasn't able to talk to the guys next to me on the bench.
“It's going to be loud, but it's going to be exciting. I'm grateful that we got some experience in 2015 and hopefully that will carry us to the championship series.”
Fellow southpaw Drew Pomeranz starts on the mound for the Red Sox, looking for more success against the 101-win Astros. In two starts against Houston in 2017, Pomeranz allowed two runs in 12⅓ innings.
Pomeranz was 17-6 with 3.32 ERA on the season, including 8-2 with a 3.01 ERA after the break.
