Houston Draws First Blood in World Series With 6-3 Win
The Houston Astros powered past the hometown Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-3, in the opener of the World Series at Dodger Stadium today. Houston starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. threw 6.0 innings of 3-hit ball, to lead the charge. The Astros now lead the series 1-0.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jake Meyers? The Houston center fielder had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put the Astros on top, 4-3. For the game, Meyers had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"The hot tub feels extra good after a solid win," said Meyers.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
