These Astros are reviving in the AL East; their record is now 31-37. These Astros are coming alive in the AL East; their record is now 31-37. The first game was a real thriller, a very close contest, which the Astros won 5-4 in extra innings.

Game 1 of the series had a tremendous finish. Altuve scored the tenth run, while Matthews threw out Trout at home plate. Walker hit an RBI single and had also connected for an RBI double in the third inning. Isaac Paredes stays hot, hitting another double. And although Yordan Álvarez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the first game of the series, the Cuban is still putting up MVP-caliber numbers.

On the other side, the Angels were once again mired at the bottom of the division, having lost their last three series. Zach Neto is the man who occasionally seems to be losing his spark for the Angels; on Monday he hit a tremendous solo home run, momentarily giving the Angels the lead, exploding on a breaking pitch. However, superstar Trout is now the one in a terrible slump; he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, dropping to 0-for-20 at the plate late in the season.
