Sometimes the baseball bounces your way. And sometimes it does not.
On Wednesday night in Minute Maid Park, the ball did not bounce the Braves’ way, and the Astros evened the World Series with a 7-2 victory.
Max Fried, for the third postseason start in a row, was not particularly sharp early on. He gave up a quick run in the first inning as Jose Altuve doubled and came around to score on two well-struck line outs.
Travis d’Arnaud promptly tied things in the top of the second against Jose Urquidy with a two-out, 3-2 shot into the Crawfish Boxes.
