These are the Astros. The ballclub that annually lives in October. A 106-win team that swept its way toward another American League pennant and entered another Fall Classic as the clear favorite.
This was Framber Valdez’s game. His night and his mound. His World Series victory.The ballclub that annually lives in October. A 106-win team that swept its way toward another American League pennant and entered another Fall Classic as the clear favorite.Fight back in Game 2 like the best team in Major League Baseball, yet again.
“This guy right here set the tone and it was awesome,” said Alex Bregman, grabbing Altuve’s shoulder while sitting next to his teammate. “I feel like that one swing of the bat to start off the game got the crowd into it, got our dugout into it, got our offense going.”So, of course, it was 5-0 home team after three innings on Saturday and the lead held this time for a 5-2 victory and 1-1 World Series tie with three games in Pennsylvania now calling the Astros’ name.
Verlander and Valdez carried the Astros through the regular season as MLB’s premier 1-2 starting punch. Game 2 was the perfect moment for Valdez to pick up the club’s ace. The Astros’ bats immediately backed Valdez, as Altuve, Peña and Alvarez lined three consecutive hits off an ambushed Zack Wheeler for a roaring 3-0 lead.
