Players of the Day for Sunday, October 13, 2019
American League
Houston Astros 3 New York Yankees 2, 11 innings
After dropping the opening game of the ALCS at home, the Astros needed a big effort and they got it from shortstop Carlos Correa.
Correa got Houston on the board in the second inning, belting a double that plated Alex Bregman with the game's first score.
Aaron Judge socked a two-run homer for the Yankees in the fourth, countered by George Springer's solo mash in the fifth, tying the game at two-all. Correa was also brilliant in the field, fielding a deflected ground ball and throwing out DJ LeMaheiu at the plate in the top of the sixth.
The game remained tied through the ninth and into extra innings, but Correa ended it with a leadoff homer in the 11th that sailed into the right field stands, evening the series at a game apiece.
Monday is a travel day for the teams, back to New York for games three, four, and five. Game three is Tuesday at 4:08 pm ET.
National League
There were no National League games on Sunday. The NLCS resumes Monday, as Washington hosts St. Louis in game three at 8:05 pm ET. The Nationals lead the series, two games to none.
