The Braves, who are in their first baseball championship final since 1999, took advantage of a dazzling start to score five runs in the first three innings, folding the game from then on. The only downside in Atlanta is the fractured right fibula of veteran Charlie Morton, hit by a bullet on the ground.
The second game will take place on Wednesday night, still in Houston. The Astros, who lost in seven games against Washington in the 2019 World Series, will have to react.
