WORLD SERIES GAME 1…
Atlanta 6 – HOUSTON 2… Jorge Soler became the first player to begin a World Series with a home run, Adam Duvall added a two-run shot in the third and the Braves cruised past the Astros in Game 1 of the 2021 World Series. Atlanta got a solid effort from its bullpen after losing starting pitcher in the third inning to a fractured right fibula. Houston will try to even the series at home tonight in Game 2 when it sends right-hander José Urquidy to the mound. He’ll be opposed by lefty Max Fried. First pitch is set for 8:09 p.m. Eastern and the game airs on Fox.
