Gerrit Cole already has two outstanding outings in the MLB playoffs, and he might need a third tonight if the New York Yankees are going to get back into their ALCS matchup with the Houston Astros.
Great pitching and timely home runs led Houston to two wins in Houston.
In Game 1, Justin Verlander's stellar start was backed up by three homers. Then in Game 2, Alex Bregman's third-inning three-run homer all that was needed for Houston to take a 2-0 lead back to the Bronx, thanks to seven impressive innings by Framber Valdez.
