Tucker, Astros Sink Dodgers Again in Game 2
Riding the 3-hit performance of right fielder Kyle Tucker, the Houston Astros got a road win against the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-4, in Game 2 of the World Series today. Tucker was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Astros, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 0.

Houston used a well-timed hit by Jeremy Pena to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We're one game closer to our goal," Houston manager James Woolsey said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
