Prices pitching was solid, but so to were the relievers and that was what counted, it was a team effort, from the pitching to the batters to the infield and the dugout.<\/p>\n<p>Jackie Bradley Jr\u2019s three-run double gave Boston its shining moment and what was needed to claim victory over Houston. In doing so, they tied the series 1-1 before returning to Houston for Game 3.<\/p>\n<p>Last night\u2019s win was a first for David Price, who had yet to play on a team in the post-season game that won when he was the starter.

The worst-case scenario for Boston will be coming home down by two, and the best case will be coming home ahead by two and the chance to clinch the series at home.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros, until last night, had won the last five post-season games in a row, and as for Alex Bregman, who plays third base for the Astros, it will be a fun series and is looking forward to going home. Bregman added that they came to Boston, won a game but last night, Boston played better.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox had fallen behind 4-2 after being ahead 2-0 in the first before Jackie Bradley scored a hit to left field that nearly went past the wall falling just short \u2013 but it was enough to tie the game.<\/p>\n<p>The fifth inning saw Boston up 5-4 before watching pitcher Marwin Gonzalez strike out Matt Barnes, and then go on to pitch a perfect inning in the sixth. Houston reliever, Ryan Brassier responded with an equally perfect pitched inning in the sevenths, and Red Sox reliever Rick Porcello responded in kind in the eighth.
