Jordan Montgomery shut down the Houston Astros, and Leody Taveras homered as the Texas Rangers did just enough against Justin Verlander to get a 2-0 win in the opener of the AL Championship Series Sunday night.
Houston's offensive woes came after it hit 16 homers and outscored the Rangers 39-10 in a three-game sweep in September. In the first postseason meeting, things were much different between these in-state rivals as they managed just five singles. Altuve initially called it safe, but the Rangers challenged the play, and it was overturned in a video review. Alvarez followed with an inning-ending groundout.
Verlander had retired eight in a row when Taveras drove a hanging slider 398 feet into the seats in right field with one out in the fifth.
