Here are the keys to an Astros win in ALCS game 2 on Sunday. Bats must wake upThe zero runs scored by the Astros in game one of the ALCS is a guarantee that a victory isn't coming. Verlander's team is 5-0 in the other five games, including a pair of Astros wins in the ALCS in 2017. Verlander allowed just one run in 16 innings, struck out 21 and completely dominated. He'll need to get back to that, especially after the Yankees scored seven runs in game one and hit three home runs.

HOUSTON - The Houston Astros opened up their 2019 playoff run with a very impressive 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in game 1 of the American League Division Series. Here's what we learned about the Astros from game 1. Verlander is 4-0 in his four game 1 starts for the Astros in the playoffs in his two-plus seasons with Houston. In the regular season, Pressly was scored upon in just eight of his 55 outings and allowed just 14 earned runs all season. He made four scoreless appearances in the final month of the regular season following a knee procedure in late August.

The Astros finished off the winningest record in franchise history Sunday, completing a 107-win season, their third 100-win season in a row. They closed out the regular season in style with back-to-back wins from their Cy Young co-competitors, Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole. As we await the winner of Tampa Bay and Oakland to see who the Astros will face in the ALDS, we look back over the 2019 regular season with some winners and losers. WinnersAlex Bregman and Yourdan AlvarezTwo of the youngest members of the Astros lineup are in line for some postseason hardware. The Astros third starter for much of the season had the third or fourth best ERA in the AL for most of the year.

HOUSTON - Ji-Man Choi put Tampa Bay ahead with a two-run double in the seventh, Travis d'Arnaud homered and drove in four, and the Rays beat the Houston Astros 9-8 Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep. Tommy Pham had an RBI single off Chris Devenski (2-3), and Choi brought in two more with a drive to center. Houston ended a seven-game winning streak, and the Rays snapped a season-high four-game road skid. D'Arnaud put Tampa Bay up 4-2 with a two-run homer in the fourth and added an RBI single in the sixth to tie it at 5. Houston again pulled within one run when Josh Reddick made it 8-7 with an RBI single in the seventh.

Pressly pitched in 5 games for the Astros in the playoffs last season, giving up one run in 5 innings.

Ryan Pressly delivers a pitch against the St. Louis Cardinals in the eighth inning at Busch Stadium on July 26, 2019, in St Louis, Missouri. All-Star reliever Ryan Pressly is headed to the injured list with a right knee issue that will require arthroscopic surgery. Astros General Manager Jeff Luhnow said Pressly will miss four to six weeks. "He came back and his stuff was good, but his knee wasnt better, Luhnow told KPRC 2 Thursday afternoon. It's unclear if Pressly will rejoin the team before the playoffs begin.

Carlos Correa and Aledmys Diaz also homered for Houston, which improved to 10-1 against the Mariners this season. Daniel Vogelbach hit a two-run homer for the Mariners, who lost their second straight after winning their previous six games. Houston got things going when Alvarez sent the second pitch of the second inning into center field for his 13th homer.
