TOnight’s GAME: The Astros will continue their World Series title defense tonight and will put their five-game postseason win streak on the line in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox in Boston...this series, which features the two teams with the best regular season records in the Ma-jors this season, will continue with a pitching matchup of RHP Gerrit Cole opposite LHP David Price.

irresistible force paradox: The Astros (103) and Red Sox (108 wins) combined for 211 regular season wins, which ties as the second-most in any postseason matchup in MLB history...the 2001 ALCS between the Mariners (116) and Yankees (95) also combined for 211 wins, while the 1998 World Series between the Yankees (114) and Padres (98) combined for 212 wins.

the 2017 alds: This series is a rematch of the 2017 ALDS, won by Houston in four...the Astros won both home games in the series, lost Game 3 in Boston and finished the series in Game 4...Houston faced LHP Da-vid Price twice in the series in relief and he combined for 6.2 scoreless in Game 2 (2.2IP) and Game 3 (4IP).

cole train: Tonight’s Astros starter RHP Gerrit Cole dazzled in Game 2 of the ALDS, recording 12 strikeouts with no walks in 7.0 innings of work...he became just the second pitcher in MLB history to record 12-plus strikouts with no walks in a postseason game, joining Tom Seaver, who struck out 13 with no walks for the Mets in Game 1 of the 1973 NLCS at CIN.

cole in the postseason: RHP Gerrit Cole is new to the Astros in 2018, but still has ample postseason experience, as he’s combined to make four postsea-son starts, posting a 3.13 ERA (8ER/23IP) in those contests...three of those starts came with the Pirates, including two elimination-game outings.

championship series history: This marks the Astros second straight trip to the ALCS and their sixth appear-ance in a League Championship Series (1980, 1986, 2004-05, 2017-18)...the Astros have posted a 16-16 all-time record in the LCS, including last year’s sev-en-game ALCS victory vs. the Yankees, a series that featured wins in all seven games by the home team.

it’s a numbers game: From 2014-17, all eight teams that won Game 1 of their LCS advanced to the World Series...overall, in 48 previous ALCS matchups, the team winning Game 1 has gone on to win the series 31 times, or 65% of the series played…since the introduction of the seven-game series in 1985, 19 of 32 (59%) teams winning Game 1 have gone on to win the series.

at the helm: AJ Hinch has completed four seasons with the Astros (2015-18) with a 374-274 (.577) record and three playoff appearances...he ranks fourth in fran-chise history in regular season managerial wins and has posted the highest win percentage by an Astros manager...Hinch also leads all Astros skippers with 18 postseason managerial wins (18-10 overall record).

back-to-back champs in expansion era (since 1961)Yankees (1998-2000) Reds (1975-76)Blue Jays (1992-93) Athletics (1972-74)Yankees (1977-78) Yankees (1961-62)

road warriors: With this series beginning in Boston, it’s worth remembering the Astros went 57-24 (.704) on the road this season, the second-best road record in the Majors dating back to 1961, when the schedule expanded to 162 games...they trailed only the 2001 Mariners, who finished 59-22 (.728)...including their two road wins this postseason, Houston has won 17 of their last 20 on the road and 24 of 31 road games dating back to July 31.

long balls: The Astros have homered in 13 straight postseason games, which ties the Major League record, posted by the National League Astros from 2001-04...in the Astros last 13 postseason games, which dates back to Game 6 of the 2017 ALCS, they’ve hit 28 homers, including a four-homer game (Game 1) and a three-homer game (Game 3) last series.

astros win game 1: The Astros downed the Red Sox last night by a score of 7-2 in what was a tight ballgame early...Houston held a 3-2 advantage thru 8 and broke it open with a four-run 9th...RHP Justin Verlander (2ER/6IP) earned the win and three Astros relievers shutout the Sox in the final 3...SS Carlos Correa had the biggest hit of the night, a go-ahead RBI single in the 6th...1B Yuli Gurriel capped the scoring with a three-run homer in the 9th.

v for victories: RHP Justin Verlander has 13 career postseason wins, which ranks fourth in MLB history, trailing only LHP Andy Pettitte (19), RHP John Smoltz (15) and LHP Tom Glavine (14)...Verlander also ranks first in Astros franchise history in postseason wins with six, while posting a 2.44 ERA (13ER/48IP) in eight appearances (seven starts).

springer has sprung: CF George Springer is riding an active 10-game hitting streak in postseason games, which ties the franchise record, also set by 1B Lance Berkman from 2001-04...Springer has homered in six of these 10 games, which included five-consecutive games with a homer, tying as the second-longest streak in Major League history...CF Carlos Beltran also homered in five straight for the 2004 Astros, and 2B Daniel Murphy homered in six straight for the 2015 Mets.

beat the best: 3B Alex Bregman has four homers in his last 11 postseason games and has six career postseason home runs in total, hitting those off LHP Chris Sale (2), LHP Clayton Kershaw, RHP Kenley Jansen, RHP Corey Kluber and RHP Trevor Bauer...all five of those pitchers are former All-Stars.
