In Game 3 of the ALCS between the Red Sox and Astros on Tuesday, Steve Pearce was robbed of a likely RBI hit by Tony Kemp in the third inning. However, in his sixth inning at-bat, Pearce made sure that Kemp couldn't rob him of a hit, crushing a 456-foot home run over the left-field wall to give Boston a one-run lead:

Pearce's first career postseason home run came off right-hander Joe Smith, and put Boston back up 3-2 in the sixth.

Pearce is making a case to stay in the Red Sox lineup even if first baseman Mitch Moreland is healthy enough to start. He's hitting 7 of 22 and filling in at first base admirably for Moreland so far in the playoffs.

The Red Sox ended up taking Game 3 on the road 8-2, and they now lead Houston 2-1 in the ALCS series.
