The 2021 World Series opens and the Atlanta Braves immediately place the external blow, going to conquer the Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, with a round 6-2. An important success for the team from the capital of Georgia, even more so considering that the only presence of was exploited Charlie Morton from starter to launch, since with this comparison the 37-year-old from New Jersey ended the season due to a fractured fibula.
Already in the first inning things are looking good for the Braves, after the performance in Keke Palmer’s Star Spangled Banner: Soler hits the 1-0 home run on the left. The host attack works and comes shortly after the second point, with Riley sending the double to the left just to allow Albies to complete the diamond circle.
For a change, Atlanta reaches 3-0 in the second half: Soler thinks to put d’Arnaud in a position to give this further advantage to the Braves. The latter ramp up further in the third, with Duvall’s 2 RBI home run, which brings out an authentic lightning at 180 km / h to give 5-0 to his team.
In the lower part of the fourth inning comes the first point of Houston. McCormick hits left with full bases, Swanson gets the ball and Tucker can’t help but cheer Minute Maid Park. We have to wait for the eighth round to see new achievements: a good attack from Atlanta leads Freeman to use, with 1 out, the sacrifice sprint that allows Swanson to run and make the 6-1. Alvarez responds in the lower part of the same inning with the second triple of the postseason, which he transforms into a point by means of Correa’s rebound. After this 6-2 repeats tonight with Max Fried starting the launch for the Braves and José Urquidy for the Astros.
