Tasso Blasts Red Sox, Astros Take Game 3, 18-3
The Houston Astros moved to within one game of the League Championship Series today, downing the visiting Boston Red Sox at Minute Maid Park by a score of 18-3. Astros first baseman Lee Tasso did some major damage. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 4 times and drove in 2. The win gives the Astros a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 Division Series.

Leo Korteweg took Manny Contreras deep in the bottom of the second. His 3-run home run put the Astros on top, 3-0. In all, Korteweg had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"We're happy," Korteweg told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
