Washington Nationals World Series: 3 takeaways from dramatic Game 1 win

The Washington Nationals bullpen made us sweat it out down the stretch, but in the end they came away with a huge Game 1 to open up the World Series.

As is the case in one-run games, there were several moments where this game could have gone one way or the other.

In the first inning it looked like the Washington Nationals had missed a golden opportunity as Trea Turner led off the game with single, stole second, and was stranded there.

The Houston Astros then responded with a two-out two-run double in the bottom of the first to seize all momentum.
