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.
For game 2, country music star Clay Walker will sing the National Anthem, former Astros catcher Jason Castro will throw out the ceremonial first pitch and Houston Texans rookie sensations CJ Stroud and Will Anderson will give the ‘Play Ball’ call. The first pitch of game 2 is scheduled for 3:37 p.m. Gates and Street Fest open at 12:30 p.m. No word yet from the league or the Astros on the status of the roof for game 2.
There are limited tickets available for game 2.
Fans are being asked to wear orange and all fans will get an Astros rally towel to cheer on the home team.
After Games 1 and 2, the series moves to Arlington for Games 3, 4 and -- if necessary -- game 5. It would come back to Minute Maid Park for games 6 and 7 if necessary | See full schedule
