Jose Altuve doubles, homers and scores twice as Houston Astros beat Atlanta Braves 7-2 to even World Series at one game apiece
Jose Siri launched himself headfirst into home plate, popped up with arms flexed and screamed with all his might.The career minor leaguer sparked a team whose biggest stars took a while to shine, sending the Houston Astros to a 7-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night that evened the Fall Classic at one game apiece.
Altuve hit a leadoff double and scored in the first inning before adding a solo homer in the seventh as the Astros rolled past the suddenly sloppy Braves. That made Siri the first player to make his debut in September or later and drive in a run in that year’s World Series.Martin Maldonado grounded a single to left fielder Eddie Rosario that scored Gurriel.
The Braves had a visit at the mound to try and regroup after that fiasco of a play but Fried threw a wild pitch soon after it ended to send Maldonado to third. There were two outs in the inning when Michael Brantley singled to right field, pumping his fist as he left the batter’s box to send another run home to make it 5-1.
Altuve’s leadoff double got things going for the Astros a day after the star second baseman went 0 for 5 in the first three-strikeout game of his post-season career. He advanced to third on a fly ball by Brantley before scoring on Alex Bregman’s sacrifice fly to make it 1-0.
