World Series 2021 -- Best moments, action and more from Game 2 between Braves and Astros

In Game 1 of the 2021 World Series, the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros saw a little bit of everything.

Designated hitter Jorge Soler became the first player to lead off the top of the first inning with a home run. Adam Duvall helped his team stay hot in the third with a two-run shot that extended the Braves lead to 5-0.

The game's biggest storyline happened in the bottom of the third when Atlanta's Charlie Morton threw 16 pitches, including a 96 mph fastball and 80 mph curveball, to strike out Jose Altuve, before exiting with a fractured fibula.
