The Houston Astros proved they are not just going to roll over in Friday night's game three of the World Series. The pitching for Houston was a full team effort but allowed them to win the game 4 -1.
After Greinke gave up 7 hits across four and a half innings, the Astros were forced to go deep into their bullpen to secure the win. Sanchez on the Nationals didn't fare much better giving up ten hits across five and a half innings.
Although the hits were plentiful, the actual scoring opportunities were at a premium. The pitching staff from both teams did a great job of leaving many runners on the bases.
Chirinos from the Astros hit the only home run of the night and it actually almost wasn't one bouncing off the foul pole into his favor.
Houston and Washington face off again tonight to see if the Nationals can pull ahead or the Astros can tie the series. Taking the mound against each other will be Corbin from the Nationals and Urquidy from the Astros. Corbin has a bit more experience but Urquidy has slightly better numbers.
Tonights game may come down to the batting for each team.
