George Springer Ties Single-Season World Series Home Run Record

Houston Astros center fielder George Springer made it to the plate twice in the first two innings of Game 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, scoring a run in each of the two appearances.

The first tally of Game 7 came from Springer on a throwing error by Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger, but he didn't require any assistance for the second. The 28-year-old smacked a two-run homer in the top of the second inning, becoming the third player in MLB history to hit five in a single World Series, per MLB Stat of the Day.
