HOUSTON -- In a World Series largely devoid of drama -- there had been but a single lead change in the first five games, way back in Game 1 -- we got plenty of it in Game 6. We had dueling epic home run trots, the first manager ejection in a World Series game since 1996, a stadium-quieting home run from Anthony Rendon, a valiant Stephen Strasburg effort and remarkable sixth straight win from the road team as the Nationals beat the Astros 7-2.
Oh, we also get Game 7 on Wednesday at Minute Maid Park, a matchup that will feature the improbable return of Max Scherzer three days after he was barely able to move his neck and had to pull out of his Game 5 start against Zack Greinke.
