The Houston Astros have equalised in the World Series of Major League Baseball (MLB). In an extra-innings thriller, the guests defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7:6, so it’s 1:1 in the best-of-seven series.
The man of the evening was Georg Springer, who scored a homerun himself in the eleventh inning and brought another player to the finish line, thus ensuring the two decisive points.
Marwin Gonzalez had provided the guests with a homerun in the ninth inning to equalize the score 3:3, and thus to extend it “This was an incredible game on so many levels, an emotional roller coaster,”said A. J. Astros manager. Hinch.”That was one of the most incredible games you’ll ever experience.”
The next three matches of the final series will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (local time) in Houston.
The Astros had eliminated record champions New York Yankees in the play-off semi-finals and will be competing for the title in the World Series for the first time in twelve years. For the Dodgers, who beat Chicago Cubs 4-1 in the semi-finals, it’s the first time they’ve made it to the final in 29 years.
