The Astros are leading the American League Championship Series 2-0 after holding on to beat the Yankees 3-2 in Game Two. Alex Bregman's three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning was all the offense Houston would need in its victory. Framber Valdez was credited with the win after allowing two unearned runs over seven innings while striking out nine. Luis Severino was tagged with the loss after allowing three runs over five and a third innings pitched. Anthony Rizzo and Gleyber Torres each drove in a run for New York. The ALCS shifts to the Bronx for Game Three on Saturday.
