Game Thread: World Series Game 3, Astros at Braves

Through its first two games, the 2021 World Series is split, with one win each for the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros.

In Game 2 on Wednesday, the Astros built a big early lead and held on the rest of the way to notch a 7-2 victory.

Now the series shifts to Truist Park in Atlanta for Game 3. The Braves start with rookie Ian Anderson on the mound — at age 23, he’s the youngest player on either team. Anderson has started three times in this postseason and his team won all three games, with the right-hander combining for a dozen innings and three runs allowed.
