Your guide to World Series Game 2: Can Verlander help Astros even series?

Clayton Kershaw spun his magic in Game 1 with the first 11-strikeout game in the World Series since Randy Johnson in 2001. Chris Taylor and Justin Turner continued as the dynamic duo at the top of the lineup, hitting the two home runs that powered the Dodgers to their 3-1 victory over the Astros on Tuesday night. Nobody melted in the 103-degree heat and it might actually have helped on Turner's home run, which just cleared the fence in left-center.

The most important thing of the day: Justin Verlander is going for the Astros.
