The second victory in the 2021 World Series arrives for the Atlanta Braves. In the first of the three home games, the home factor is fully exploited, since the Houston Astros they fail to score even one point: the final result is 2-0. The series will now continue at 2-1, and from this moment it is almost superfluous to remember how important every single match can be, especially for the Astros who find themselves back to the wall.
On an offensive level, there are two plays that decide the confrontation, preceded by a touching memory of the superstar Hank Aaron, who left us a few weeks ago, with the first symbolic throw made by his son. The first occurs in the third inning, with a double from Riley going very powerful on the left foul line, impregnable: Rosario flies to sign for the 1-0 in favor of the Braves and the joy of Truist Park.
The second, on the other hand, comes in the eighth take, and in the simplest and most difficult form possible: a home run, one of those powerful, beautiful, precise ones. D’Arnaud makes it, which leaves a perfect turn of the club centrally, which is worth the 2-0 and another riot from the spectators of the city of Georgia.
Also to be appreciated in a very particular way is the defensive aspect cared for with great precision by the Braves. There are five pitchers from Atlanta who allow the hosts to reach the eighth inning in a no hitter situation. This is a historic game because for the first time since 2006 the two starting pitchers, Ian Anderson e Louis Garcia, are World Series rookies. Match definitely deserved by the Braves: 6-2 the count of the valid found, demonstrating the remarkable defensive solidity on the part of the hosts.
