After Justin Verlander exits, Astros rally to beat Dodgers in 11th

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- George Springer screamed with joy as he circled the bases after hitting a two-run homer in the 11th inning.

Yes, it was -- barely -- and the Houston Astros won a World Series game for the first time in their 56 seasons.

Charlie Culberson hit a two-out homer in the bottom half off Chris Devenski, who then struck out Yasiel Puig in a tense, nine-pitch at-bat for the win.
