The Los Angeles Dodgers have evened the World Series at 2-1. In a pitchers' duel, the Dodgers gutted out a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros thanks to five runs in the top of the ninth inning.
The Astros trotted out Ken Giles and Joe Musgrove in the top of the ninth inning, but they struggled. By the end of the frame, five runs had scored and the Dodgers had a win locked up.
Cody Bellinger drove in a run with the single to give the Dodgers the lead, Austin Barnes hit a sac fly and then Joc Pederson belted a 3-run bomb to put the game out of reach. The Bellinger double and Pederson homer are embedded below.
