World Series, Game 3
Houston Astros 4 Washington Nationals 1
Houston displayed some teamwork on Friday night, taking game three of the World Series, 4-1, as Jose Altuve and Michael Brantley teamed up to produce two of Houston's runs.
In the third inning, Altuve doubled down the left field line and took third base as Washington left fielder, Juan Soto, mishandled the ball in the corner. The next batter, Brantley, singled off of the Nationals' starter, Anibal Sanchez, sending Altuve to the plate for a 2-0 Houston lead.
In the fifth inning, the duo struck again, Altuve lacing a double to left and scoring on Brantley's single to right field.
Houston starter, Zack Greinke, allowed seven hits, but limited the Nationals to a lone fourth inning run. Five relievers followed, culminating in Roberto Osuna, who picked up the save by pitching the ninth.
Houston's win got them back in the swing of things after dropping the first two games at home. The Nationals lead, two games to one, with game four scheduled for an 8:07 pm ET start on Saturday. Sunday's game five will also begin at 8:07 pm ET at Nationals Park in Washington, DC.
