Tonight's Astros vs. Red Sox live stream will catch Boston looking for another early offensive explosion, as they had in Game 2. Meanwhile, Houston's pitching staff will look to crush that momentum and regain control of the ALCS in this MLB live stream.

After dropping Game 1, the Red Sox knew they needed to jump on the Astros early in Game 2. They did it with aplomb. Boston hit two grand slam home runs in the first two innings to take an 8-0 lead, with J.D. Martinez getting the first two outs in the top of the first inning and Rafael Devers following with one out in the second.

Enrique Hernandez also hit a solo homer, his fifth of the playoffs, in the fourth inning in Game 2, going 2 for 4. Hernandez now holds a .500 batting average in 32 postseason at-bats.

The Astros responded with three runs in the fourth inning. Then Yuli Gurriel and Jason Castro hit solo home runs in the bottom of the ninth.

Now the Astros are looking to take advantage of another series in Boston. Jose Urquidi will pitch in Game 3 for Houston in his first start of this postseason. He is 8-3 on the season with a 3.62 ERA; Urquidi has allowed just one run in six innings against the Red Sox this season, striking out nine on May 31.

The Red Sox will start Eduardo Rodriguez in Game 3. The lefty has made two starts this postseason, going 0-1 with a 5.40 earned run average.

Today, however, we have a live stream of Dodgers vs. Braves to look forward to.
