The Houston Astros have tied the World Series at one game apiece after beating the visiting Atlanta Braves 7-2 on Wednesday at Minute Maid Park.
Houston's four-run second inning proved to be the difference, with Jose Siri, Martin Maldonado and Michael Brantley all smacking RBI singles to help give the Astros a 5-1 lead.
Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy and the Houston bullpen took care of the rest. Urquidy struck out seven batters over five innings, allowing two runs. He struck out the side in the first.
Houston relievers shut out Atlanta for the final four frames.
