Soler, Braves overcome Morton injury, top Astros in Game 1 MORE:
HOUSTON — A healthy swing by Jorge Soler powered the Atlanta Braves to a smashing start in the World Series.
Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and the Astros, meanwhile, mostly looked lost at the plate. This is their third World Series in five seasons — and first since their 2017 illegal sign-stealing scheme was revealed. “The energy was amazing and electric, especially after we took a 1-0 lead after that home run,” Soler said through a translator.“I didn’t know that was a thing until I was told a little later on in the game,” he said.
“I think we obviously swung the bats there early pretty well, and doing that on the road, kind of getting them first at-bat jitters out of the way, it’s big,” Duvall said.
