LOS ANGELES — Describing everything that happened in the Houston Astros’ 7-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night is a near-impossible task.
There was once-injured Corey Seager’s go-ahead two-run home run off Justin Verlander in the sixth inning. There was the collapse of the Dodgers’ dominant bullpen with Kenley Jansen’s first career blown save in the postseason. There was the Astros’ Marwin Gonzalez’s game-tying home run in the top of the ninth, followed by go-ahead blasts by Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa in the 10th.
Then the Astros’ closer, Ken Giles, had another blown save when he coughed up a home run to Yasiel Puig and a two-out, run-scoring single to Enrique Hernandez in the bottom of the 10th that tied the score at 5-5.
