Full World Series Game Highlights! (Braves vs. Astros show down in 2021 Fall Classic)

On the mound for the Astros left hander from Valdez and it'll be Jorge Soler leading things off for the Atlanta Braves. He is the D.H. Here's one slam in the left field. How about that start to the World Series. Soler will take the trip and he puts Atlanta up one zip with a first swing in the fall classic. Here is Freeman with a ground ball. What a play by a two bay he got him. What a play. I mean you just can't do it any better. Altuve ended up in center field when he let that thing go. So now three and Owen Olsen Reilly runner at second one down here is Reilly with a ball in the left center field. It's going to make it to nothing cut off by McCormick. But it's an RBI double and the Braves have come up flying here in Game 1. Braves have rolled up their sleeves and they've come out of the corner just firing haymakers. And the Astros are at the top of the first. There's a better hired gun in baseball these days. I don't know who it would be. Charlie Morton is a guy that you want on the mound. Yeah he's going to get his former team in a very tough team is that the bases are loaded for the Astros and Kyle Tucker. One that gets the big play by Ozzie Albee in shallow right glove in 360 spin and delivered a good throw two on one out. So Laird who homered on a two pitch back in the first inning Browns one to short Correa will throw to third one scores and they have Peterson hung up tagged out to nothing. Now three nothing Atlanta. There's no one else in Duvall patiently waiting Valdez just trying to fight to stay in the game. This one is a rocket into left and gone five nothing Atlanta here in the third inning as Duvall goes deep. What a start to Game 1 for the Braves. Series homer missile right into the seats and the fans have already launched it back. Here comes Dusty Baker. That's it. Tucker on third Gary Lowe on first trailing by five. And here's McCormick pretty good track record not only as a big leaguer but as a minor leaguer against lefties left side. By Swanson in the score is Tucker going to third as Correa and it's five to one here in the fourth and the line keeps moving should have been an easy play for Dansby Swanson. It certainly should have been might have been able to turn to a man who would have been close but obviously should have gotten at least one and the left hand of Brooks Rayleigh takes over first and third Freddie Freeman up for Atlanta and a little pop up into shallow right Tucker with Swanson tagging. Here's the play at the plate and Swanson gets around the tag six to one Atlanta here in the A dash to the plate and I don't think anyone expected it. And it's six one Braves. How about that hustle. How about that for an RBI for Freddie about a two hundred foot fly ball sack fly Matzik who came on to allow a hit and then got a strikeout of Bregman when the seventh deals with Alvarez and Alvarez pokes it deep to center it sends back to ball still going back at the wall and it's off the wall Alvarez motoring for second as the ball bounces back toward the infield and Alvarez will get to third base with his second triple of this postseason. That just shows you how strong he is. I'm telling you he doesn't give way. It's so incredible to be this big and this strong and not be a free swinger. Correa the batter over to the wall. Shot a run scores all these makes the play and Freeman digs it out and the Braves happily trade and out for a run. Now it's Uli's turn. He's one for three with a single Mr. Guerrero swinging a deep drive to left fielder Rosario trying to get there spins around it's over his head. That's all Ozzie with a tag huge out at second base played the carom off the wall spun around and fired a great catch at second and tag by Ozzie. We go to the bottom of the ninth inning. Will Smith will try to close it out. Braves leading six to two one one out two they go round ball out to Ozzie boots and picks it up throws to first base and deep in the heart of Texas the Braves have taken game one. Good evening everybody. Welcome back to Menin Park for game two of the World Series for two thousand twenty one. Ben the roof is open should be a great night and the roof open for the first time in 16 years for a postseason game. The last time the roof was open was game three and four of the two thousand five World Series. And tell you what it's a different look for this place. I know they've not had the roof open for a game here since May and on the mound for the Astros is Jose Ortega. This is his second career World Series start through five shut out innings in Washington. Game four of the twenty nineteen World Series and puts away Rosario to start the night. This will be a challenge facing Freeman really good stays on all the off speeds. Three two to Freeman. He's got him looking to the Braves head back to back two out base hits here in the top of the first inning. Now it's O'Leary. You don't want to throw him many strikes pitch on the way. Swing and a miss got a fastball by him and the inning is over. Max Fried who's making his fourth start of this year's postseason one and one with a three point seven eight E.R.A. So one out and a runner at third Braves with the infield back for Alex Bregman to two and Bregman lines it in the center field fairly deep racing back to ball. He's there back pedals to make the catch Altuve taxi scores Astros lead one nothing. Jose Ortega is the first Houston pitcher with three strikeouts in the first inning of a World Series game accomplished that in the first inning strikeout. It's number four and now the eight hitter Travis Darnell with nobody on for Atlanta in a one nothing game and sends that one deep to left field and forget about it. Travis Darnell showing off the muscles and goes deep to even up the game at one his first home run at this postseason. Anybody up and down this line up can take you deep fastball inside. Inside it looked like. So runners at the corners and the Astros with another threat and Jose Seery to the plate one for eight this postseason that one hit a two run single. Jammed. It'll score a run. Safe all around to one Houston here in the second. You can't teach speed. It's a broken bat low roller towards second base gets the run in and he gets on board with that blazing speed and a celebration by Seery as he crossed the bat runners at first and second now with one down in the batter is Maldonado the one one to Maldonado and that's a ground ball through the left side of base hit on his way to third. Gurriel he's around third and coming home. The throw goes toward third as Seery gets there the ball gets away. Gurriel scores Seery coming home and he will score as well. Maldonado goes to second and the Astros lead four to one. And Rosario saw correctly what he thought he could get the out at third but there was nobody there. Swanson could not rotate over to third base heads up base running aggressive base running and the Astros are coming out hot with four runs already. The leadoff man is on here in the fifth to bring Dan to the plate. Oh two swing and a miss. Good slider down and away. Good morning good afternoon and good night. Dansby Swanson seven strikeout for Kitty and there is one away to over to third goes Darnell and this inning is up to Freddie Freeman one one pitch and his barrel to the left side of the base and a drive in Darnell Braves pick up the tally here in the top of the fifth inning and he will continue to ball game near the top of the fifth Snitker out of the dugout. He's going to take the ball from Freed Kyle Tucker coming up to want nobody out dealing with Dylan Lee the left hander who takes over to the right side Albies second and that's it Alvarez to third and Tucker at first and now Yuli stands in and that's a bouncing ball left side and fielding it is Swanson a throw to second drop by Albies and safe at second base with Alvarez coming home to make it six to two Altuve one for three doubled and scored in the first trying to get things going with Drew Smiley on the mound now veteran lefty his first appearance of this World Series driven to left field hooking down the line. She's gone. Altuve goes deep for the 22nd time in his postseason history second most all time. Tied with Bernie Williams at twenty two Astros lead at seven to two because of the little big man Kendall Braveman another in season addition for this pen and a good one. Braves down to their final out of game to pitch to Swanson swing and a foul tip held on to by Maldonado. And that is the ball game. The Houston Astros even up the World Series at a game of peace winning game two over the Atlanta Braves seven to two one on no one out here is Michael Brantley. He has had a great series already and a great postseason altogether. He's hitting three fifty two round ball taken by the first base double play great play by Ian Anderson. If it gets through I still think it's a double play six to three but in with quick reflexes stabbing start of that one six three double play and Rosario leads things off for the Braves. So two out of nobody on for Travis Darnell no score in the bottom of the second pretty well the right and sends back Brantley at the wall against the wall and it's off the brick wall Garneau is on his way to second and he has himself a two out double the first hit for Atlanta Braves with a really good start down here in the bottom of the third inning looking to score the game's first run right here. Austin Reilly struck out back to the first inning this time down the line of fair ball. Braves are going to score first tonight. Rosario come on down. It's one nothing Atlanta. No hits through three the last pitcher with no hits allowed through the first three innings in a World Series game. I was calling with Tim McCarver and you John Smoltz Alvarez walked Correa was hit and Tucker a little roller work to and two thirds innings in Houston game one gave up only one run struck out three. Here's Bregman he is over one and that's inside of that head of maybe on the back leg Bregman down on his hands and knees in some pain and obviously this feels even worse in the pool conditions. It's a slider that better just pull it and look like the outside of the ankle perhaps Robert. Yep. And he wears that that many Shetgard on that front leg but that hit on the side still hasn't put any pressure on it. All right now it's favoring it a little bit but it looks like he's going to stay in this game as he walks down the first base or two outs. Alvarez at the plate for one. Rosario is one for two with a single a walk and a run scored Braves lead one nothing and Rosario pokes it in the shallow center Tucker coming on coming on coming on headlong dive and he made the catch. Excellent play by Kyle Tucker to take away a hit from Rosario and in the end no hits allowed by the Braves a one to nothing ballgame here in the eight the series tied in a game of peace led Miss Diaz off the bench to pinch hit for Maldonado and Diaz lifts this one in the shallow left racing in Rosario still coming in and it drops in front of him and then rolls behind him. But he picks it up before Diaz can think about going to second base and that's the Astros first hit as a Siri running at first representing the time run pitch to Brantley. There goes Siri. The pitch is low but in the second by Darnault and it gets in the center field going past all these and down to third base goes Siri. So now the time runs 90 feet away with two out Braves leading one nothing. Brantley. Braves have gone down in order each of the last two innings. Not had a base hit since Duvall's single the fifth inning. Well struck by Darnault at deep central. Forget about it. What's this one in the wind column. Braves top of the ninth runner at first two away. So is a radio radio has got a room. It is a two hit shutout. The Braves win. And they take game three over the Astros by a final score of two to nothing. An auspicious start for Dylan Lee still to bid on but now one out for Jordan Alvarez inside and high ball for the bases are loaded one down. Here comes Brian Snicker. That might be it for Dylan Lee. Very unfamiliar spot for a reliever who spent most of his time in Triple-A and now the Duvall goes to a starter and Carlos Correa the batter Correa bounces it softly left side cutting across Riley he feels throws the first in time to get Correa a run comes home as Altuve scores and it is one to nothing Astros. So one out and nobody on for Zach Greinke Greinke batting eighth tonight with Maldonado hitting ninth and Greinke bounces it up the middle and pass the dive of all these in the center a base hit for Zach Greinke. How do you like that. Greinke gets himself a base hit in the World Series. Obviously his sixth career hit in the postseason the first hit he's ever gotten in the World Series and the Astros with their eight and nine hitters their pitcher and their catcher have two men on with one out line shot to a diving Austin Riley makes the catch out of the air went out across the chalk that is now smeared across the infield third but a great catch by Austin. An all star Jose Altuve outfielder is pretty deep especially in center here at a deep center backing up Duvall to the wall and run in this series Jose Altuve with a jack to center field second all time in postseason home run Jose Altuve to nothing Houston bottom of the fourth runner at first one down open stance from the left side curveball off the end of the bat could be to Altuve to Correa on the first double play. There you go Zach Greinke four innings of work his second double play and that'll end the threat for the Atlanta Braves tonight Major League Baseball joins our partners stand up to cancer and reaffirming our commitment to fight against cancer. Please join Major League Baseball MasterCard Fox and the entire baseball family as we stand together in the fight against cancer back to the top of the order to Eddie Rosario who's won for two of the single and Rosario pulls one to and stopping there and a scoring position a wire Rosario and he's fired up standing on the bag out at second Bill Mayton on and try to put out the fire Braves have first and second first real threat of the night. So two out still two and on for Atlanta and now Austin Reilly to the plate swung on and hit a base hit. Here comes Eddie Rosario the throw from Alvarez off short of the plate throw to second base. Austin is in there. Ready standing at third Riley comes through and it's a two one ball game. Oh McClutch again it was a slider. He ripped it Alvarez came up throwing but there was no cut off man down base is empty for Dantzke Swanson to one ball game in the bottom of the seven in the year. This ball is gone but a solo homer by Dantzke Swanson. He went the other way with one soaring into the top out the Marietta Georgia native delivers. Tied at two in the bottom of the seven. Out of the ballpark double treble back to back. Danzke and Jorge with a seven for the Atlanta Braves Astros bullpen. And this place is pulsing with energy to down here in the eighth and now back to the top of the order to Jose Altuve. And he hits one in the air to left back at the wall. It is Eddie Rosario's world man what a catch. Is to be your Don Alvarez. He's got to be careful with him round ball rolling up the line at first. He's got it takes to the bag Braves win. The Atlanta Braves have just taken game for the World Series and they are one win away from their first World Series title since nineteen ninety five. And they are loaded now for Adam Duvall first pitch to Adam Duvall one on a fly ball to deep right. That's carrying back there to the wall. Gregg touch them all Adam Duvall it is for nothing Atlanta. And now it's Alex Bregman's turn on his lead off first and second to two and Bregman lines this one toward right center field that's headed for the gap and that's going to get down and go all the way to the wall Guerrero around third he will score Tucker will stop at third Bregman with an RBI double his second hit of the World Series and it is four to one Atlanta to two minute scoring position now with one out for Martin Maldonado two and two the count to Maldonado runners lead off second and third the pitch and Martin lives it in the center field Duvall going back on it and makes the catch a step onto the warning track. Both runners will tag as Tucker scores on the third goes Bregman a sacrifice fly for Maldonado and it's four to two Braves. Boy just what the doctor ordered the Astros to half the lead right away and the Astros have the potential go ahead run all of a sudden coming to the plate in Carlos Correa. Here's the three two from Chavez. This was driven to left center field that's going to get down out to they will score getting to third base is Brantley. It's a sliding double by Correa. It's four to three. A bullet from Carlos Correa. So here's Gary L right handed batter Braves lead four to three top of the third first pitch grounder up the middle Swanson's got it goes to first base out but the run scores all of a sudden just like that it's four to four. This could be the last time these fans that are packed into Truitt's Park see Freddie Freeman in a Braves uniform here at home free agent to be lined up in the three two on the way hit well to deep right center field way back. This one is flying and that Monster Mash out of Freddie Freeman Freeman barreled it into the seats over the Braves bullpen and it's five for Atlanta. Freddie leading off the bottom half of the third with a homer to grind back. That is so huge. The Astros will send Zach Greinke to the plate now who of course started for the Astros last night and at the plate batted twice and got a hit hit one sharply up the middle in his first at bat one for two Chavez Oh one pitch is driven to right field and that's a base hit a sharp one hopper right field and Greinke has a pinch hit single. How about that might be the last one ever by a pitcher right in the World Series. That's crazy. That'll load him up for Martin Maldonado three one to Maldonado and he takes it way inside for ball four and the Astros tie it on the bases loaded walk Correa comes home. It is five to five. And now Marwan Gonzalez is going to pinch hit for Jose Urquidy pitch on the way and Marwan lifts this one in a shallow left field Rosario coming in it'll drop in front of him for a hit. Gurriel scores Bregman scores it's a two run single for the pinch hitter Gonzalez and the Astros lead for the first time today seven to five. Here's Alvarez over three to fly out to the strikeout and the one swung on popped up down the left field line not very deep on comes Eddie Rosario sliding and made a catch in fair territory. Eddie Rosario comes up with another Jim down the left field line on a blue nice play again Eddie and Jack Peterson is the pinch hitter and Peterson hits it off the hands pops it up foul ground third base side Maldonado and Bregman chasing it and Bregman runs it down. That'll bring up Maldonado see if Maldonado might set on one. Here's the two one another curve pulls it through the left side. That's a base hit Tucker around third base throw in not a time Astros lead eight to five on the RBI single by Maldonado. He goes to second base on the throw and a clutch hit with two outs for the machete and the Braves are going to bring their infield in for Correa who is two for four with an RBI double and a run scored now the one oh and Carlos drives this in the left for a base hit Altuve can walk home and the Astros have a nine to five lead and Jorge Soler stands in one for four with a base angle to two swing and a miss Soler goes down on a high fastball and that is the ball game. Here's the veteran left hander compared to his counterpart tonight Max Fried it's two on nobody out and they're not going to challenge one two on the way got him swinging strike three slider low it in that fans Carlos Correa and the Astros now with two minutes scoring position but two outs for Uli Guerrero right there. What a job by Max Fried technically Max got himself four outs that inning but it keeps him off the board lead off it down to a walk in the batter will be Soler. There they go pitch on the way he attacks and smokes one to deep left. This one's gone supersonic that is out of the ballpark. Wow. Over the train tracks it's three nothing Atlanta and Jorge Soler lands the first punch on the top of the third inning Alta de la Tercera Alisson Garcia for you. Don't forget about the. The. Four hundred two seasons ago. What a pick up he's got for a drop from the bat. To go down pounded on his chest went into his trot. You can take all the time you want when you do that to a baseball bat went an estimated four hundred forty six feet and came off as bat at one ten. Get another get another measuring stick. Baker showed in the dugout Christian taking him out a hitter early east of the mound again Garcia now it's too late. One down. Dansby Swanson over the plate will be followed by the top of the order. He flew out to left at the ball pretty deep. Dansby a rope to deep left field. That one's rising. Kiss it goodbye. A two run bomb by Dansby and it's five nothing Atlanta on the strength of two tape measure shots one from or a one from Dansby and those are the two men who hit the big home runs the other night. Second home run of this World Series and there was nothing cheap about it. He went to the fastball. Dansby we know can hit a fastball. Dansby owns Javier. He's bombed him the last two times he's faced him. Here comes Dusty five to nothing Atlanta Blake Taylor left hander is the fourth pitcher for the Astros making his second appearance in this World Series. Here's Freddy with a runner at first and two down three one pitch here. Flying into left center field well hit back at the track it's off the wall. Soler digging around third. Here he comes. It's six nothing Atlanta is Freddy Freeman delivers here in the fifth. All right crowd wants to see Correa do something swing and miss and a ball gets by Darnell. He's retrieving it back by the backstop throw to first got him heading over and went off the glove of Darnell on the swing and miss. He had to chase it to the backstop and made a good throw to Freddy to retire Correa. Woo. Night outs to get. It looks like Max Freed is finished for the night. Six innings no runs four hits six strikeouts no walks and just a brilliant effort here tonight. But it's two and two hard hit and David Stockman gets up throws. Sam Gehrig man still playing defense down by six. It's like Bregman had springs in his legs the way he dove for that ball toward the line. Perfect to Uli Gurriel got it on line Freddy one for three with an RBI double. Freeman gives that one a ride deep central and that ball is gone. Freddy Freeman leaves the yard seven nothing Atlanta and right on cue. Freddy Freeman with his fifth home run this postseason. He hit that one out there in the gas pump third homer of the ball game for the Braves. We're in the nine. And that means Will Smith time and the Atlanta Braves are one out away from winning the World Series here on the second of November twenty twenty one oh two on the way chopper out to Dansby Dansby throws to first base. Is this happening. It is the Atlanta Braves are the world champions. The Atlanta Braves have won the twenty twenty one World Series in six games over the Houston Astros. Pure euphoria down on the field as they're bouncing all over the infield and in the booth celebration going on on the field. And folks this is what dreams are made of.
