From 10 teams to eight and now, the final four of the MLB Postseason. Here, we dive into the ALCS between the slugging New York Yankees and the gritty Houston Astros.

Yankees 2B Gleyber Torres entered the ALCS hot and didn't slow down in Game 1, registering five RBI via a double, HR and two-run single as the Yankees triumphed 7-0.

Yankees bring in flamethrower Aroldis Chapman? No sweat for Astros Springer and Altuve. The former drew a two-out BB, and the latter punched a slider deep to LCF to mercifully end the game before extra innings. (Both teams had already plowed through their bullpens.) Final: NYY 4, HOU 6.
