How would the Houston Astros respond after taking their first loss of the playoffs? Quickly, that's how. They laced three doubles and scored two runs in the first four pitches they saw off Philadelphia Phillies star Zack Wheeler, ambushing a dominant starter to take control of World Series Game 2. Behind the steady Framber Valdez, the Astros held on from there, winning 5-2 to even the series at 1-1.
The Astros wound up scoring three in the first-inning rush, then added two more on Alex Bregman's homer in the fifth. Wheeler, who had been spectacular in October up until Saturday night, weathered the storm to go five innings.
