YESTERDAY’S NEWS: The Red Sox took a 2-1 series lead with yesterday’s 8-2 win over the Astros...Nathan Eovaldi allowed 2 runs in 6.0 IP, the Sox’ bullpen threw 3.0 score-less innings, and 8 players recorded at least 1 hit for BOS.

This is the 2nd time the Sox have ever won each of their first 3+ road games in a postseason (also 3 in 2008).

The only time the Sox have ever won 4+ consecutive road games in a single postseason is 2004 (4).

GAME 4: Of the Red Sox’ 11 trips to the ALCS, this is the 3rd time they have led the series after 3 games...They swept the 1975 series vs. OAK (3-0), and in 2013 they led DET after 3 games (2-1) en route to a 4-2 series win.

The Sox have twice been tied at 2-2 after 4 games of an ALCS: 2003 (lost series) and 2013 (won series)...They have never held a 3-1 lead in an ALCS.

Prior to 2018, the Sox won the ALCS in all 3 instances when tied at 1-1 and playing Game 3 on the road (1986, 2007, 2013).

WHATEVER YOU NEED: Tonight’s Game 4 starter, Rick Porcello, has appeared in 3 postseason games in 2018, all Red Sox wins...In the ALDS, he threw 0.2 scoreless in-nings 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.

LEADING OFF: In the first 3 games of the ALCS, Mookie Betts led off the 1st inning with a hit in Game 1 (single), Game 2 (double, run), and Game 3 (single, run).

Including the postseason, Betts has hit safely in each of his last 11 games at Minute Maid Park...In those games, he has posted a .347/.385/.592 batting line with 12 runs scored and only 2 strikeouts (17-for-49).

FOR DEVERS 21: Rafael Devers began his postseason career 0-for-5, but in 6 games since he is 9-for-17 (.529) with a .619 OBP, 8 runs, 6 RBI, 2 HR, 4 BB, and only 2 SO...He will turn 22 years old 1 week from today (10/24/18).

The only other players in MLB history to score 8+ runs in the postseason before turning 22 years old are Andruw Jones (13), Miguel Cabrera (11), Mickey Mantle (9), Xander Bogaerts (9), and Edgar Renteria (8).

THIS AND THAT: The Red Sox are 5-0 this postseason when scoring the game’s 1st run (0-2 when they don’t).

BOS has 6 postseason HR, hit by 6 different players. Dating back to 2017, Xander Bogaerts has hit safely in each of his last 8 postseason games.

The 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.

NATHAN’S FAMOUS: Nathan Eovaldi is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA (3 ER/13.0 IP) in the postseason, having defeated NYY at Yankee Stadium in Game 3 of the ALDS (7.0 IP, 1 R), then HOU last night in Game 3 of the ALCS (6.0 IP, 2 R)...Those were the first 2 postseason appearances of his career.

Eovaldi is the 4th pitcher to throw 6.0+ innings and allow 2 runs or fewer in each of his first 2 career postseason outings, both for the Red Sox...The others to do that are Dutch Leonard (1915-16), Babe Ruth (1916-18), and Jim Lonborg (1967).

In addition, Luis Tiant (1975) and Josh Beckett (2007) pitched 6.0+ innings and allowed 2 runs or fewer in each of their first 2 postseason appearances with the Sox.

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.
