The Houston Astros<\/a> needed to remind everyone that they run the league until they are dethroned, and that’s exactly what they did.<\/p>\n

In as much of a must-win as one could have without being mathematical, the bats of the defending champions came out firing as they earned their much-needed first win of the American League Championship Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Houston took down the Texas Rangers<\/a>, 8-5, to avoid a commanding three-games-to-none lead, and they now trail the series, 2-1.<\/p>\n

The Astros never looked back from their three-run second inning. With the bases loaded, Yordan Alvarez scored on a wild pitch from Max Scherzer. Then, Martin Maldonado drove in two more runs with a single. In the third, Jose Altuve blasted a solo homer, and Mauricio Dubon added an RBI single in the fifth.<\/p>\n

Josh Jung belted a two-run homer to cut Texas’ deficit to three runs, and Leody Taveras robbed Alvarez of a homer in the sixth, but Alvarez wound up driving two runs on a single in the seventh. Jung got the two back with his second two-run dinger of the night in the bottom half of the seventh, but Jeremy Pena’s RBI single put the Astros back up four. Adolis Garcia’s eighth-inning single drove in a run, but that was the last of the Rangers’ runs.<\/p>\n

Scherzer did not have it – in his return from a teres (armpit) injury, he lasted just four innings and allowed five runs. It was his first postseason start since Game 1 of last year’s Wild Card Series as a New York Met, when he allowed seven earned to the San Diego Padres in 4.2 frames.<\/p>\n

The Rangers bullpen, their long bugaboo all season, hardly fared much better, combining for five innings while allowing the other four runs.<\/p>\n

Christian Javier is a stud in the postseason, and he continued to be as such on Wednesday. He didn’t allow a hit in his first four innings (he was the starter in two combined no-hitters last year, including the one in Game 4 of the World Series). He was yanked after Jung’s first homer, but earned the win. His career postseason went up, yet it’s still a measly 2.08.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hector Neris, Bryan Abreu, and Ryan Pressly combined for the final 10 outs to clinch the victory.<\/p>\n

Dubon collected three hits in the victory, while Jose Altuve, Alvarez, and Maldonado each had a pair.<\/p>\n

Game 4 of the ALCS is Thursday night back in Arlington. Both starting pitchers are to be determined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
