Participating in their seventh consecutive ALCS, the longest such streak in AL postseason history, the Astros have shown resilience plenty of times previously.
Houston won't have to wait long for a chance to even things, as it plays host to the Rangers on Monday in Game 2 of the ALCS.
Left-hander Framber Valdez (0-1, 10.38 ERA in postseason) is the scheduled starter for the Astros in Game 2.
Valdez is 7-5 with a 2.90 ERA over 16 career appearances (13 starts) against the Rangers.
Eovaldi is 3-4 with a 4.42 ERA over 10 career regular-season starts against the Astros.
