The winners of the past two World Series faced off on Friday night. Fortunately, the Astros got out with the win to open the series against the Atlanta Braves. However, it wouldn’t have been possible without Yordan Álvarez, Mauricio Dubón, and Hunter Brown. After losing 4-0 in the first inning, the Astros won 6-4.
In the ninth inning, the table was served for Yordan. With a tied game, left-hander AJ Minter was on the mound and he retired Jake Meyers for the first out of the inning. Then, Dubón recorded his third hit of the game but Alex Bregman followed with a line-drive out to left-fielder Kevin Pillar, who made an outstanding catch.
