Astros blow out Braves to even World Series. MORE:
HOUSTON — José Urquidy went to the Houston Astros before Wednesday's World Series start and asked that “El Corrido De Mazatlán," be played as his warmup music instead of “La Casita,” the song he had been using.
Looking calm and poised a night after overamped rotation-mate Framber Valdez was chased early, Urquidy gave the Astros’ bats a chance to break out for a 5-1 lead with a four-run second inning. “I know there’s a lot of Mexican people that in the stands tonight, that are there supporting me,” Urquidy said. “It makes me feel even more motivated and focused knowing that I have to do a good job, and it makes me proud to represent the country that I’m from.”Sometimes Urquidy thinks he throws too many strikes.
Urquidy rebounded from his Game 3 loss at Boston in the AL Championship Series, when he got just five outs in a 12-3 defeat on Oct. 18.
