Officially, the baseball game played at Fenway Park on Monday night was Game 3 of the American League Championship Series between the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros.
After avenging a loss in Game 1 by banging out a record-setting two grand slams and nine runs to beat Houston in Game 2, the Red Sox kept right on rolling with a 12-3 rout in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
With that, the Red Sox have as many grand slams just in the last two games of the ALCS as they had throughout their 162-game regular season.
That moment was Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Red Sox have already hit nine home runs in the ALCS, seven of which have come just in the last two games.
It's not as if the Red Sox's offense wasn't also good during the regular season, as it was indeed quite strong in scoring 5.1 runs per game.
Looking ahead to the next two games of the series, the sheer hotness of the Red Sox's offense isn't the only bad omen for the Astros.
To quote Astros manager Dusty Baker, per Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle: "It's kind of like a groundhog day, a recurring nightmare.".
3, the Astros turned to Jose Urquidy to start Game 3 out of a lack of better options more than anything else.
Zack Greinke will start Game 4 for the Astros.
It had to pick up all but 3.2 innings of the first two games of the series, and once again had a heavy workload dumped upon it in Game 3 after Urquidy recorded only five outs.
As such, there's probably only one way that the Astros are going to come back and beat the Red Sox in this series.
The Astros did lead the majors with 863 runs scored during the regular season, after all, and their offense was in fine form as it cranked out 31 runs in four games against the Chicago White Sox in the ALDS!
In this series, however, the Red Sox are making the Astros scratch and claw for runs?
That would ensure that this series will return to Houston, where the Astros went 51-30 this season
