Dallas Keuchel and the Houston Astros got the best of Andrew Benintendi in this series, advancing in 4 games. Keuchel and Benintendi went head-to-head three times and Keuchel won all three, focing Benny to groundout twice and flyout once. Keuchel went 5 2⁄3 innings and struck out seven while giving up just one run in his only start of the series.
Benintendi had a slow first three games, going just 2-of-12, but in game 4 he woke up and hit a huge home run off Justin Verlander that gave the Red Sox the lead, but his team was unable to keep the lead.
