FENWAY RECAP: The Red Sox and Astros split the first 2 games of the ALCS at Fenway Park, with HOU winning Game 1 (7-2) and BOS winning Game 2 (7-5).

SOX & TIES: The Red Sox are tied at 1-1 in a postseason series for the 16th time (9-6 in previous 15; 3-0 in last 3).

Since the Championship Series switched to a best-of-7 format in 1985, the team that has won Game 2 of the ALCS has gone on to win the series in 26 of 32 seasons (81.3%), including in each of the last 10 (2008-17).

This is the 3rd time the Sox have come back to tie an ALCS by winning Game 2...In each of the previous 2 instances, they advanced to the World Series (1986, 2013).

GAME 3: This is the 6th time the Red Sox have been tied at 1-1 in the ALCS...In those seasons, they have twice played Game 3 at home, failing to advance to the World Series both times (2003 & 2008)...When tied at 1-1 and playing Game 3 on the road, however, they have won the ALCS in all 3 instances (1986, 2007, 2013).

In 1986 and 2007, the Sox lost Games 3 and 4 of the ALCS on the road, then came back to win the series.

RELIEF CORE: Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, Joe Kelly, and Heath Hembree have combined to allow 0 ER in 16.2 IP in the postseason (1 UER), holding opposing hitters to 0 XBH and a .059 AVG (3-for-51, 11 BB)...Barnes (4.2 IP) and Hembree (3.2 IP) have yet to allow a hit.

LONE STAR SOX: Five members of the Red Sox’ ALCS roster were born in Texas: Ryan Brasier (Wichita Falls), Brock Holt (Fort Worth), Blake Swihart (Bedford), Brandon Workman (Arlington), and Nathan Eovaldi (Houston)...In addition, Ian Kinsler resides in Dallas and Tom Goodwin lives in Grapevine.

RUNNIN’ RED SOX: The Red Sox have been successful in 25 of their last 26 stolen base attempts...They are 12-for-12 in steals since 9/24, including 5-for-5 in the postseason.

RING BEARERS: Seven members of the Red Sox’ ALCS roster have appeared in at least 1 World Series game, in-cluding 3 position players (Ian Kinsler, Mitch Moreland, Xander Bogaerts) and 4 pitchers (David Price, Rick Porcello, Joe Kelly, Brandon Workman)...Only Bogaerts and Workman have won a World Series, both with the Red Sox in 2013.

SOXTOBER: The Red Sox are making their 24th postseason appearance, including their 10th in the last 16 years (2003-18)...This is their 3rd straight playoff appearance, matching the franchise’s longest streak (also 2003-05 and 2007-09).

The only other teams to qualify for the postseason in each of the last 3 years (2016-18) are CLE, CHC, and LAD.

POSTSEASON HISTORY: The Red Sox are 95-85-1 all-time in postseason play...They are 20-15 in 35 postseason series, having gone 7-6 in 13 trips to the ALDS (23-25 in DS play), 5-5 in the ALCS (27-32), and 8-4 in the World Series (45-28-1).

The Sox have won 3 of the last 14 World Series (2004, ‘07, ‘13), tied with SF for the most titles this century.

MINUTE MAID MEN: Including the postseason, Mookie Betts has hit safely in each of his last 10 games at Minute Maid Park...In those games, he has posted a .364/.404/.636 batting line with 11 runs scored and only 2 strikeouts (16-for-44, 5 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 2 BB, 1 HBP).

J.D. Martinez has homered in 4 of his last 10 games at Minute Maid Park...He played in 131 games here as a member of the Astros from 2011-13.

NATHAN’S FAMOUS: Tonight’s Game 3 starting pitcher, Nathan Eovaldi, was born in Houston and resides in nearby Friendswood, TX...He has made 2 career appearances at Minute Maid Park, for the Yankees on 6/26/15 (6.0 IP, W, 2 ER) and for the Rays on 6/20/18 (6.0 IP, L, 4 ER).

In Game 3 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium, Eovaldi earned the win in the Sox’ 16-1 victory...He allowed only 1 run and issued 0 BB in 7.0 IP (5 H, 5 SO).

In the regular season, Eovaldi made 8 starts against teams that qualified for the postseason...In those games, he had a 2.66 ERA (13 ER/44.0 IP).

WHATEVER YOU NEED: Rick Porcello has appeared in 3 postseason games in 2018, all Red Sox wins...In the ALDS, he threw 0.2 scoreless innings of relief in Game 1, then started and earned the win in Game 4 at Yankee Stadium (5.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 SO).

In Sunday’s Game 2 win over the Astros, Porcello threw a perfect 8th inning, striking out Marwin Gonzalez and Carlos Correa.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The Red Sox are 2-0 on the road in the postseason, having won Games 3 and 4 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium by a combined score of 20-4...They are 43-48 all-time in postseason play on the road.

In the regular season, the Sox owned MLB’s 2nd-highest winning percentage on the road (.630, 51-30).

The Sox and Astros split a 4-game series at Minute Maid Park from 5/31-6/3, with HOU winning the first 2 games and BOS taking the last 2.

THE REMATCH: The Red Sox and Astros are facing each other in the postseason for the 2nd time ever...In the 2017 ALDS, HOU earned a 3-games-to-1 victory.

The Sox lost their 2018 regular-season series to the Astros, 3 games to 4...HOU out-scored BOS, 34-31, while the Sox out-hit the Astros, 65-62...The margins of victory were 2, 4, 1, 6, 3, 2, and 1.

BEST OF THE BEST: The Red Sox and Astros owned MLB’s 2 best records in the 2018 regular season...This is the 8th time that teams with sole possession of MLB’s 2 best records are meeting in the LCS...It previously happened in 2009 (NYY-LAA), 2007 (BOS-CLE), 1986 (NYM-HOU), 1983 (CWS-BAL), 1976 (CIN-PHI), 1972 (PIT-CIN), and 1971 (BAL-OAK).

The Sox’ and Astros’ 211 combined wins are tied with the 2001 ALCS (SEA vs. NYY) for the 2nd-most for any postseason matchup...Only the 1998 World Series (NYY vs. SEA) featured a higher combined win total (212).

WINS BY THE HUNDRED: The Red Sox (108-54) are taking on the Astros (103-59) in the ALCS, after they defeated the Yankees (100-62) in the ALDS...This is only the 2nd time BOS has faced multiple 100-win clubs in a postseason, having de-feated the Yankees (101-61) and Cardinals (105-57) in 2004.

Only 4 teams have ever defeated multiple 100-win teams in a single postseason: 2004 Red Sox, 2003 Marlins, 1998 Padres, and 1988 Dodgers.

This is only the 3rd postseason meeting between teams that won 103+ games in the regular season (also 1912 and 1942 World Series).

This is the 13th matchup between 100-win teams in postseason history, including the 4th in LCS play (also 1977, NYY-KC; 1976, CIN-PHI; 1971, BAL-OAK).

POSTSEASON: Made his 1st career postseason appearance in Game 3 of the 2018 ALDS at Yankee

Stadium...Limited NYY to 1 run over 7.0 IP (W, 5 H, 5 SO). Was the 1st pitcher with 1 or 0 runs allowed over 7.0+ IP in his Red Sox postseason debut

since Josh Beckett in Game 1 of the 2007 ALDS vs. LAA (9.0 scoreless IP). Was the 1st pitcher with such an outing in his BOS postseason debut on the road since

Rube Foster in Game 2 of the 1915 World Series vs. PHI (9.0 IP, 1 R).TONIGHT’S START:

Posted a 2.66 ERA (13 ER/44.0 IP) in 8 regular-season starts vs. ML teams that qualified for the 2018 postseason.

Went 3-3 with a 3.33 ERA (20 ER/54.0 IP) in 12 outings (11 starts) with BOS after being acquired on 7/25 from TB in exchange for LHP Jalen Beeks.

Over his last 6 appearances (5 starts) beginning 9/3, including the postseason, is 2-0 with a 1.33 ERA (4 ER/27.0 IP), .177 opponent AVG (17-for-96), and 0.93 WHIP.

Opponents are 1 for their last 19 with RISP against Eovaldi, including the postseason. Has surrendered only 1 run in 16.1 IP (0.55 ERA) over his last 3 road starts.

VS. THE ASTROS: Suffered the loss on 6/20/18 with TB at Minute Maid Park (6.0 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 5 SO). His only other career appearance at Minute Maid Park came on 6/26/15 as a Yankee...

Earned the win that day in a 3-2 Yankees victory (6.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 6 SO).2018 HIGHLIGHTS:

Among AL pitchers with 20+ starts, held the 4th-lowest BB/9.0 IP ratio (1.62) and 5th-highest SO/BB ratio (5.05).

Made 6 scoreless starts of 6.0+ IP, tied for the 3rd-most in the AL (Verlander-9, Kluber-8, Sale-6, Price-6, Bauer-6).

Led MLB with 4 scoreless starts of 6.0+ IP and 2 hits or fewer allowed...Also paced MLB with 3 starts of 6.0+ scoreless IP and 1 or 0 hits allowed.

Held a career-long streak of 22 consecutive starts with 2 BB or fewer from 7/19/16 to 8/31/18...Was MLB’s 3rd-longest active streak entering play on 9/3/18. Began his Red Sox career with 15.0 scoreless IP: 7.0 scoreless on 7/29 vs. MIN and 8.0 scoreless IP on 8/4 vs. NYY. With 7.0 scoreless IP on 7/29 vs. MIN (4 H, 5 SO), became the 1st Red Sox starter with 7.0+ scoreless IP in his team debut since Chris Sale on 4/5/17 vs. PIT. Prior to Eovaldi, the last Red Sox pitcher with 0 BB over 7.0+ scoreless IP in his team debut was King Brady on 10/5/1908 vs. the New York Highlanders. Only 2 other pitchers since 1908 have begun their Red Sox career with consecutive scoreless starts: Vaughn Eshelman (2, 1995) and Dave ‘Boo’ Ferriss (2, 1945). Retired his first 18 BF on 7/8 at NYM (7.0 IP, H, 9 SO)...Tied the 2nd-longest perfect game bid in TB franchise history behind Chris Archer (6.1 IP, 7/29/15 vs. DET).
