HOUSTON, Texas -- The Houston Astros started José Siri in center field instead of Chas McCormick for Game 2 of the World Series against the Atlanta Braves.

This is the third postseason start and fourth appearance for Siri. The 26-year-old rookie didn't play in the division series, with McCormick and Jake Meyers splitting time in center field. But he got a chance to contribute in the ALCS and in the World Series with Meyers out with a shoulder injury.
