Marwin Gonzalez had a go-ahead two-run single in the fifth inning and Martin Maldonado drove in three runs as the Houston Astros overcame an early four-run deficit to extend the 2021 World Series with a 9-5 victory Sunday over the host Atlanta Braves.
Facing elimination and trailing early after afirst-inning grand slam from the Braves' Adam Duvall, the Astros' offense roared to life after a pair of lackluster games at Atlanta left them in a 3-1 series hole.
Houston scored multiple runs in the second, third and fifth innings, with Maldonado's bases-loaded walk in the fifth tying the score 5-all before Gonzalez dumped his two-run single to left against Atlanta left-hander A.
