The Houston Astros have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the American League Division Series after a 9-4 Game 2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
With the game tied 4-4 in the seventh, the Astros came through with a five-run inning to blow the game open.
Kyle Tucker had the biggest hit with a two-run home run, finishing with three RBI in the game. Carlos Correa and Yuli Gurriel also stepped up with two RBI each in the win.
Neither starting pitcher factored in the decision as Lucas Giolito and Framber Valdez each allowed four runs while exiting in the fifth inning. It led to a competitive battle with several lead changes and momentum swings.
The Astros eventually came out on top with clutch hitting and a bullpen that allowed zero runs in 4.2 innings.
Houston is now one win away from clinching the series, although the two teams will head to Chicago for the next two games.
What’s Next?
After an off-day Saturday, the series returns Sunday with Game 3 from Guaranteed Rate Field. Luis Garcia is expected to start for the Astros while the White Sox will either use Carlos Rodon or Dylan Cease.
