HOT AND COLD AND HOT AND OUT ...
  2021 ALCS Game #3
Kyle Schwarber blasts the Sox
third grandslam homer in two games

October 18, 2021 ... The Red Sox slugged their way to a 12-3 victory over the Houston Astros. After going up by two runs in the second inning, on a Christian Vazquez single with the bases loaded and an error by Jose Altuve, Kyle Schwarber blasted a grandslam homer into the right field seats, putting the Sox up 6-0. It was the third grandslam by the Sox in two games, making them the first team to do so in a postseason series.

The Sox tacked on three more runs in the third inning on an RBI single by Vazquez and a two-run blast by Christian Arroyo into the Monster seats.

J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers homered later on, giving the Sox nine homers thus far in the ALCS, and 20 homers in the postseason, tying them with the 2004 Astros. Kike Hernandez got two more hits giving him a postseason .500 BA.

Eduardo Rodriguez surrendered a three-run homer to Michael Tucker and struck out seven through six strong innings for the Sox. Hansel Robles, Martin Perez and Hirokazu Sawamura all closed out the Astros to finish the night.
