In Game 1 of the World Series, Oakland A’s fans got to see an old favorite come through when now-Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle retired all four batters he faced to save the one-run victory. In Game 2, another former A’s fave had a huge moment to help lead the Nats to a win and a 2-0 Series lead.
With the score tied 2-2 after six innings, catcher Kurt Suzuki led off the 7th for Washington, facing Astros superstar starter Justin Verlander. On the second pitch of the at-bat, Suzuki went deeeep for a solo homer to take the lead.
