One night after being stymied by the Braves' bullpen, the Astros' vaunted offense finally came to life.
Houston tagged Atlanta starter Max Fried for five runs in the first two innings and never looked back, winning Wednesday's Game 2 7-2 to even the World Series at one game apiece.
Alex Bregman gave Houston a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, but the Braves tied it up in the second on a solo home run by Travis d'Arnaud. Houston wasted no time answering, ripping off four runs on five hits in the bottom half of the inning—with a little help from some sloppy Braves defense.
