Houston (AP) – The Houston Astros won the second game of the World Series in Major League Baseball (MLB) and equalized in the best-of-seven series. The hosts in Houston took an early 5-0 lead against the Philadelphia Phillies and eventually won 5-2.
After two games in Houston, they go into the third game, which takes place in Philadelphia on October 31, with a 1-1 draw in the series. Whoever gets four wins first secures the championship title.
It is the Astros’ fourth World Series appearance in the past six years, while the Phillies are playing for baseball’s most important title for the first time since 2009. The Astros had recently lost the World Series twice. In 2017, the team won the title, but had demonstrably cheated. Since then, many baseball fans have been extremely critical of the team. The Phillies, who are considered underdogs in the series this year, last won the title 14 years ago.
