Astros beat Braves 7-2, tie up World Series

HOUSTON - The Atlanta Braves could not pull off the magic of Game One of the World Series. They lose to the Astros in Game Two 7-2 to tie up the series.

The Astros got on the board early and kept scoring in a game reminiscent of Game Two of the NL Championship Series.

Max Fried was pitching like the lefty ace he has been most of this season for the Atlanta Braves, retiring 10 batters in a row in his first World Series start.

The only problem was that it came after a horrendous four-run second inning that put the Houston Astros ahead to stay, and sent Fried to his second consecutive loss at a time when the Braves really need him the most.
