The Astros host the Rangers for the first two games of the American League Championship Series at Minute Maid Park.

HOUSTON — Things may not have gone the Astros' way in game 1 of the American League Championship Series, but the team doesn't have a long time to think about the loss because game 2 is today against the Texas Rangers. There will be plenty of action even before the two teams take the field.
