This time, the Astros scored five runs, too. The difference is that Framber Valdez and their bullpen held the Phillies and helped the team tie the World Series at one win apiece. Game 2 was everything Game 1 should have been plus Houston had an offensive team effort that featured a key role by the upper part of the lineup.
Just like on Friday, the Astros attacked early. This time, they enjoyed a three-run rally in the first inning against Zack Wheeler. Before Wheeler was able to record his first out of the game, the Astros hit three consecutive doubles (José Altuve, Jeremy Peña, Yordan Álvarez) to crack the scoreboard 2-0.
