After becoming the second team in 20 years to blow a 5+ run lead in the World Series, the Astros were out for revenge in Game 2. Framber Valdez and the Houston bullpen provided a pitching masterclass to silence the Phillies, 5-2, and level the series at one game apiece heading to Philadelphia.

Just as they did in the first game, the Astros jumped out to an early lead. Jose Altuve, Jeremy Peña, and Yordan Alvarez led off the first with back-to-back-to-back doubles off Zack Wheeler to put a quick two-spot on the board.
