2017 American League Division Series, Day 2: Red Sox vs. Astros, Yankees vs. Indians

It’s a Friday afternoon in October filled with baseball! The Astros and Indians have 1-0 leads in their series and both teams took Game 1 decisively over their opponents.

Given the pitching matchups this afternoon, those could easily become 2-0 leads before the N.L. teams even throw their first pitches this evening.

Game time for Yankees/Indians: 4 p.m. CT. TV: MLB Network. Announcers: Joe Buck, John Smoltz, Tom Verducci and Ken Rosenthal.
