The Houston Astros answered back with a two-run first of their own. Thanks in large to Alex Bregman, who uncorked a two-run blast off Washington Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg to tie Game 2 of the World Series at 2-2.
The Astros got two extra-base hits off Strasburg in their first frame. Jose Altuve hit a one-out double, but he was caught trying to steal third by Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki.
But, Michael Brantley delivered a two-out single, allowing Bregman to come to the plate. Bregman got on top of a change-up off Strasburg. He knew it was gone right away.
