2021 - The Braves win Game 3 of the World Series, 2-0, to take a 2-1 lead over the Astros. Ian Anderson throws five hitless innings before being removed with a 1-0 lead, and the Astros don’t get their first hit until pinch-hitter Aledmys Diaz leads off the eighth with a single off Tyler Matzek, the Braves’ fourth pitcher. However, the Astros only get two hits all game and cannot score. Austin Riley gives Atlanta the lead with a double in the third and Travis d’Arnaud adds a solo homer in the bottom of the eighth to account for the scoring.
