00:00Meanwhile, it's left-hander Tucker Davidson getting the ball for the Braves.
00:04And Davidson, he wasn't even on the postseason roster until game two.
00:08Runner at first, one out for Carlos Correa, who's batting third in the order tonight.
00:13Brantley lead at first, 0-2 on the way.
00:16Comebacker taken by Ozzie, steps on second, there's one, over to first, double play!
00:22And a solid start for Tucker Davidson in the Atlanta Braves.
00:26Astros send the minimum to the play at the top of the first inning.
00:28No runs, no hits, no errors, and none left.
00:31We've played a half an inning, Astros nothing, and the Braves coming up when we come back.
00:37Fromber Valdez on the mound for the Astros, and he wasn't very good in his Game 1 World Series start.
00:42Didn't make it out of the third inning, gave up five runs.
00:44And they are loaded now for Adam Duvall.
00:47First pitch to Adam.
00:49Swung on with a fly ball to deep right, that's carrying back there to the wall!
00:55Grand slam!
00:58Touch them all, Adam Duvall!
01:00It is 4-0 Atlanta!
01:03Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
01:05And now it's Alex Bregman's turn.
01:07Runners lead off first and second.
01:10The 2-2.
01:11And Bregman lines this one toward right center field.
01:14That's headed for the gap, and that's going to get down and go all the way to the wall.
01:17Gurriel around third.
01:18He will score.
01:19Tucker will stop at third.
01:21Bregman with an RBI double, his second hit of the World Series.
01:24And it is 4-1 Atlanta.
01:26So two-minute scoring position now with one out for Martine Maldonado.
01:31Two and two the count to Maldonado.
01:33Runners lead off second and third.
01:34The pitch.
01:35And Martine lifts it into center field.
01:38Duvall going back on it and makes the catch a step onto the warning track.
01:42Both runners will tag as Tucker scores.
01:44On the third goes Bregman.
01:46A sacrifice fly for Maldonado, and it's 4-2 Braves.
01:49Boy, just what the doctor ordered the Astros to half the lead right away.
01:54How about as will bat for himself with two down and a runner at third base.
01:58There's the 2-2 on the way.
02:00Got him looking.
02:01Strike three.
02:03Fastball into the inning.
02:05Astros get two of those runs back that they gave up in the bottom of the first inning.
02:09Two runs, two hits, no errors, one left.
02:11Off to the bottom of the second we go.
02:13Braves four, Astros two.
02:15Dansby Swanson will lead things off for Atlanta against Frambois Valdez.
02:19Looking for better returns in the bottom of the second inning.
02:24The 1-2.
02:25That's a ground ball up the middle to his left Correa.
02:28He snags it, spins, throws to first in time.
02:30Excellent play by Carlos Correa.
02:33Pirouetting and getting rid of the ball.
02:36Just nicking the runner.
02:38So one out of nobody on for Tucker Davidson.
02:400-6 as a hitter as a big leaguer with six strikeouts.
02:44The 0-2, swing and a miss, goes down on three pitches here.
02:47And it's the top of the order for the Astros.
02:50Altuve leading things off.
02:51Here's the 3-2.
02:52And it's a hard hit ball to the left side of the infield.
02:55Bobbled by Swanson.
02:56And Altuve's going to reach.
02:58Should have been an out.
02:59Dansby Swanson, the shortstop, bungled it.
03:03And Altuve reaches with nobody out here in the third.
03:07Second error Swanson has made in this World Series.
03:09And the Astros have the potential go-ahead run all of a sudden coming to the plate in Carlos Correa.
03:17Here's the 3-2 from Chavez.
03:20This one's driven to left center field.
03:23That's going to get down.
03:24Altuve will score.
03:26Getting to third base is Brantley.
03:28It's a sliding double by Correa.
03:30It's 4-3.
03:33A bullet from Carlos Correa.
03:36So here's Gurriel, right-handed batter.
03:39Braves lead 4-3, top of the third.
03:41First pitch.
03:42Grounder up the middle.
03:44Swanson's got it.
03:45Goes to first base.
03:46Out.
03:46But the run scores all of a sudden.
03:49Just like that.
03:50It's 4-4.
03:52Now runners at first and third.
03:53Two down for Alex Bregman.
03:552-0 pitch.
03:56Bregman hits one high in the air to left.
03:59Coming in Eddie Rosario.
04:00Looking up.
04:01He's under it.
04:02And he's got it.
04:03That's the third out.
04:04This could be the last time these fans that have packed into Truist Park see Freddie Freeman in a Braves
04:11uniform here at home.
04:12Free agent to be.
04:14Wined up in the 3-2 on the way.
04:17Hit well to deep right center field.
04:19Way back.
04:20This one is flying.
04:22And that is a monster mash out of Freddie Freeman.
04:26Freeman barreled it into the seats over the Braves bullpen.
04:29And it's 5-4 Atlanta.
04:31Freddie leading off the bottom half of the third with a homer to get the lead right back.
04:36That is so huge.
04:39Tough play.
04:41Bregman.
04:42Bare hand.
04:43Got it.
04:44Good play by Alex Bregman.
04:47Maldonado with Zach Greinke on deck.
04:52Hits one up the middle and to his left.
04:55Albies has it.
04:56Throws it.
04:57And Freeman has to dig it out on a routine throw.
05:01Albies bounces another one over there.
05:02One out.
05:03And the Astros will send Zach Greinke to the plate now.
05:05Who, of course, started for the Astros last night.
05:09And at the plate batted twice.
05:10And got a hit.
05:12Hit one sharply up the middle in his first at bat.
05:14One for two.
05:15Chavez, 0-1 pitch.
05:17Is driven to right field.
05:19And that's a base hit.
05:20A sharp one hopper to right field.
05:22And Greinke has a pinch hit single.
05:25How about that?
05:25Might be the last one ever by a pitcher, right, in the World Series.
05:30That's crazy.
05:31And that'll load him up for Martin Maldonado.
05:343-1 to Maldonado.
05:36And he takes it way inside for ball four.
05:39And the Astros tie it on the base's loaded walk.
05:43Correa comes home.
05:44It is 5-5.
05:46And now Marwin Gonzalez is going to pinch hit for Jose Urquidy.
05:51Pitch on the way.
05:52And Marwin lifts this one in a shallow left field.
05:55Rosario coming in.
05:56It'll drop in front of him for a hit.
05:58Gurriel scores.
05:59Bregman scores.
06:00It's a two-run single for the pinch hitter, Gonzalez.
06:03And the Astros lead for the first time today.
06:067-5.
06:08Well, Tuve's been on base once.
06:10Scored once.
06:10All together 0 for 3.
06:11Reached on an error back in the third inning.
06:14Runners go.
06:143-2.
06:15Got him swinging.
06:16Strike three.
06:16That's a big one.
06:17Had to have it.
06:18So Riley's in scoring position with two out.
06:20And Eddie Rosario comes to the plate as a tying run.
06:242-2.
06:25Ground ball tap weakly.
06:27Back to Maiton.
06:27Fields it on the front slope of the mound.
06:29Jogs part of the way to first.
06:30And shovels to Gurriel for the out.
06:32Side retired.
06:34Riley stranded after a two-out double.
06:36And after five innings in Game 5 of the World Series, Astros 7, Braves 5.
06:42Here's Alvarez 0 for 3.
06:44Two fly outs and a strikeout.
06:46And the 0-1.
06:47Swung on.
06:48Popped up.
06:49Down the left field line.
06:50Not very deep.
06:52On comes Eddie Rosario.
06:53Sliding and made a catch.
06:54In fair territory.
06:57Eddie Rosario comes up with another gem down the left field line on a bloop.
07:02And that'll end the inning.
07:04Nice play again, Eddie.
07:06And Jack Peterson is the pinch hitter.
07:08And Peterson hits it off the hands.
07:10Pops it up.
07:11Foul ground.
07:12Third base side.
07:12Maldonado and Bregman chasing it in.
07:14Bregman runs it down.
07:16And that'll bring up Maldonado.
07:18See if Maldonado might set on one.
07:21Here's the 2-1.
07:23Another curve.
07:24Pulls it through the left side.
07:25That's a base hit.
07:26Tucker around third base.
07:28Throw in.
07:29Not in time.
07:30Astros lead 8-5 on the RBI single by Maldonado.
07:35He goes to second base on the throw.
07:38And a clutch hit with two outs for the machete.
07:42There's Chaz McCormick.
07:43Pitch from Smiley.
07:45Swing and a miss.
07:45Strike three.
07:47Got him with a curveball.
07:48And he gets through the seventh but gives up a run.
07:50One run.
07:50Two hits.
07:51No errors.
07:51One left.
07:52And the Braves are going to bring their infield in for Correa,
07:55who is two for four with an RBI double and a run scored.
08:00Now the 1-0.
08:01And Carlos drives this in the left for a base hit.
