You don't often see back-to-back, game-changing plays like the ones Kiké Hernandez put forth for the baseball world in Game 1 of the ALCS between the Red Sox and Astros.
In an interesting moment before Friday night's Game 1, it was notable when Carlos Correa was asked what was going through his mind when watching Alex Cora get emotional while hugging his daughter following the Red Sox' ALDS-clinching win over the Rays.
There's been a lot of Red Sox excitement in Boston over the past few days and that contagious energy is set to continue as the ALCS begins in less than 24 hours.
Let's hope this year's series can even be half as crazy.
J.D. Martinez hit his 13th homer and the Boston Red Sox beat the Houston Astros 12-8 Thursday night, avoiding a three-game sweep.
Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman homered to help Jake Odorizzi pick up his first win since 2019, and the Houston Astros rolled past the Boston Red Sox 8-3 on Wednesday night.
The Red Sox' offense is potent. Except for when they are facing Framber Valdez.
Carlos Correa and Yordan Alvarez homered to back Framber Valdez, and the Houston Astros ended Boston's five-game winning streak, beating the Red Sox 7-1 Tuesday night.
Martín Pérez pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings, and the Red Sox headed into their first matchup against the New York Yankees with a 5-1 win over the Astros on Thursday.

Luis Garcia threw a career-high seven innings, Jose Altuve homered and the Houston Astros beat the Boston Red Sox 5-1 for their third straight victory.
Kyle Tucker had a season-best three hits and tied a career high with four RBIs as the Houston Astros beat former bench coach Alex Cora and the Boston Red Sox 11-2 on Monday.

The Houston Astros are reportedly banging the drum pretty hard in their efforts to steal Jackie Bradley Jr. from the Red Sox.
Joe Kelly became something of a baseball folk hero for throwing at the Astros, but Major League Baseball was not amused.
Red Sox fans are familiar with Joe Kelly, a reliever who doesn't take any crap from anyone. On Tuesday night, Kelly did what just about every team in MLB wants to do this season: He waged war on the Houston Astros.
The now-former Red Sox manager who is suspended for the 2020 season wants to set the record straight after Major League Baseball and the Astros organization singled him out as the "mastermind" of the entire operation.
When it comes to writing the final word on the two sign-stealing investigations in the winter (and spring) of 2020, the record should show that consistency, believability, and integrity were all sorely lacking from MLB's work.
Earlier this offseason, Pedro Martinez said that Mike Fiers did the wrong thing when he exposed the Astros' sign-stealing system. Now, another Red Sox legend feels the same.
New York Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton imagined having the advantage the Houston Astros gained in their scam.
