Braves Defeat Astros Backed By Seven Inning No-Hitter Performance

After giving up seven runs in Game 2, the Braves put together a stellar pitching performance—including a seven-inning no hitter—to defeat the Astros on a cold, rainy night at Truist Park on Friday.

The Braves scored their first run on Austin Riley's RBI double to left field, allowing Eddie Rosario to score and Freddie Freeman to advance to third. Atlanta would not score again until the bottom of the eighth, when Travis d'Arnaud blasted a solo 427-foot home run that secured the victory.

The Braves became the first team to not allow a hit through seven innings of a World Series game since the 1967 World Series.
