Through 6 1⁄3 innings pitched it looked like Zack Greinke might singlehandedly win the 115th World Series for the Houston Astros, but Anthony Rendon stepped to the plate and hit one out to left field for the Washington Nationals’ second hit of the game, cutting a 2-0 lead the home team had built up in half, 2-1.
Greinke was done for the night after a walk to Juan Soto in the next at bat, and their lead was gone after Howie Kendrick hit a 2-run homer off of the right field foul pole off reliever Will Harris to make it a 3-2 Nationals’ lead.
