Schwarber slam gives Red Sox big lead in Game 3 of ALCS

BOSTON (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit Boston's third grand slam in two games, a drive off José Urquidy in a six-run second, and the Red Sox took a 9-0 lead after three innings against the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series on Monday night.

Schwarber drove a fastball to right on a 3-0 count for 6-0
