New York Drops Game 2 Of The ALCS While Houston Ties It Up

New York won game of the American League Championship Series while Houston won game two.

So what did that do to the series that is best of seven?

It tied it up at one a piece.

How did it get tied?

. Carlos Correa stamped the conclusion of a four-hour, 49-minute affair, connecting for an 11th-inning homer off J.A. Happ that lifted the Astros to a 3-2 victory Sunday night in Game 2 of the ALCS.

As for other relivers out of the New York bullpen,

Chad Green was spectacular as he retired all six men he faced in relief of Paxton before Aaron Boone decided to turn it over to Adam Ottavino.”according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/yankees-lose-alcs-game-2-on-astros-walk-off

What was the result when Adam Ottavino came in? On a spinning slider in the heart of the plate George Springer took him deep and tied the game. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/yankees-lose-alcs-game-2-on-astros-walk-off

So now to my questions. Chad Green was obviously on a roll if Aaron Boone would have left him in the game would Houston have not have grabbed the lead? Would New York have still had the lead if Chad Green hadn’t been pulled?

Up next? The ALCS transitions to Yankee Stadium for Game three between New York and Houston on Tuesday where Luis Severino will start for New York while Garrett Cole will start for Houston.
