The Houston Astros traveled to Fenway Park, needing to win at least one game out of three to keep their season alive and force the American League Championship Series back to Houston. .

The Astros scored 17 runs over 11 innings across Games 4 and 5, tying and eventually retaking the series lead. .

The Astros head back to Houston just 27 outs away from punching a ticket to their third World Series appearance in the past five seasons, led by one of the most impressive pitching performances in franchise history and a lineup to be feared.

In Altuve, the Astros have the fastest player in MLB history to reach 20 career postseason home runs

Bregman, who homered in Game 4, has the second-most postseason home runs by a third baseman behind only Justin Turner

It's now down to a two-game series, with both Game 6 and potentially Game 7 at Minute Maid Park in Houston. 

What to watch for in Game 6 is how the likely pitching matchup plays out between Astros rookie starter Luis Garcia and Red Sox veteran Nathan Eovaldi

How will Red Sox manager Alex Cora's decision to gamble with their best starter in relief impact Eovaldi on just three days rest, against an Astros lineup swinging the way his own did earlier in the series

Astros manager Dusty Baker said a decision had not been made on the Game 6 starter, but if healthy, Garcia is the most likely candidate
