Baseball, World Series Mlb: Atlanta vince gara-1 a Houston

The attack of the Braves (who lose Morton for a fracture in the right fibula) dominates Valdez, the starter of the Astros. Tenth victory in a row in the finals for the away teams

A victory paid for dearly. Atlanta smashed Houston in Game 1 of the World Series (6-2) but lost its best starter, Charlie Morton, who broke the fibula in his right leg after being hit by Yuri Gurriel’s serve in the second inning. Obviously for the 37-year-old pitcher, able to make another 16 pitches before giving in to pain, the finals end here. But the Braves snatch the field factor by demolishing the starter of the Astros, Framber Valdez, hit hard (8 valid and 5 points awarded in two rounds) by the guests’ clubs. Tonight race-2 (2 hours Italian), again in Texas, with Josè Urquidi and Max Fried starting pitchers. Then the series will move to Georgia for 3 games (barring a coat of the Braves).

first inning

The challenge immediately went well for Atlanta, who took the lead in the first inning thanks to Jorge Soler’s home run and Austin Riley’s double that earned him 2-0. Margin widened in the next two rounds with a point beaten at home again by Soler and by Adam Duvall’s home run by two which in fact ditched Houston. The Braves bullpen did the rest. After Morton’s exit, AJ Minter, Luke Jackson, Tyler Matzek and Will Smith only conceded two points to the Astros, putting Race-1 on ice. Soler’s leadoff home run also made history: the World Series never opened with a home run from the first hitter of the match. In the past, Don Buford with the Orioles in 1969, Dustin Pedroia with the Red Sox in 2007, Alcides Escobar with the Royals in 2015 and Chris Taylor with the Dodgers in 2017 had succeeded in the first inning but all four in the lower part of the second half. .

Incredibly, the success of the Braves extends the winning streak to 10 for the away teams in the World Series. It should in fact be taken into account that those of last season – due to a pandemic – were played on a neutral field. We must therefore return to game-3 of the 2018 Series, the 18-innings marathon that saw the Dodgers beat the Red Sox (who then won the title in Los Angeles by imposing themselves in the next two), to find the victorious home team. In 2019 Washington defeated the same Astros 4-3 with all 7 games going to the guests.
