Stephen Strasburg, Nationals Beat Justin Verlander, Astros to Force Game 7

So much for home-field advantage.

The Washington Nationals defeated the Houston Astros 7-2 in Game 6 of the 2019 World Series on Tuesday at Minute Maid Park and evened the series at three apiece. The road team has won every game of the series, and Stephen Strasburg made sure that continued with an absolute masterpiece.

That means there will be a winner-take-all Game 7 at the Fall Classic for the third time in four years.

Washington is a single victory away from its first championship in franchise history, while Houston is one win away from its second in three seasons.
