The Houston Astros make their way to Georgia to challenge the Atlanta Braves on their home turf in Game 3 of the World Series.
The Braves were off to a roaring start in Game 1, leading 5-0 after only three innings, and eventually won the game 6-2, their first victory in a World Series game since 1996. They didn’t leave the field unscathed though. A line drive in the second inning hit starting pitcher Charlie Morton’s leg, resulting in a broken right fibula.
The @Braves know their starter for Game 3 of the #WorldSeries will be Ian Anderson. After that … well, it’s complicated https://t.co/nkY1mW1Wif

The Astros bounced right back with bats on fire in Game 2, winning the game 7-2. The game-changer though was the superb performance from Jose Urquidy of Mexico. The 26-year-old was unstoppable on the mound and effectively paralyzed the offensive power of the Braves.
