MLB World Series game 2 recap and analysis

After LA's home win in game 1, Houston set up their best pitcher Justin Verlander to try to bring the series into equal for the 3 consecutive races at Minute Maid Park, on the other hand the Dodgers responded with Rich Hill , the left-handed veteran who played until two seasons in the Independent League and thanks to his excellent performance is now the number two leader of a team playing the World Series. The race started with a dominance of the two pitchers that saw Verlander stabilize the strike zone with steady fastballs at steady 98 mph and occasionally use its slider and its curve to send strikeout opponents beats, on the other side Rich Hill he did not possess the speed of his rival he had to play with high gears using the fastball at 89 mph at the top and then pull his slow ball down and many times in the strike zone, his curveball was very indigestible to beasts of the Astros because not only moved north-south but also east-west making it really hard to spot and hit. The score was unlocked at the third inning when Alex Bregman beat a single in the outside center to take home the spot marked by Josh Reddick, while in the fourth inning LA Roberts manager replaced Rich Hill in my mistake enter Kenta Maeda, exceptionally recently against the right bettors whose Houston lineup was full. Race 2 is back in balance with Justin Verlander's first mistake, leaving the fastball too internal to give Joc Pederson the chance to hit the first homerun of the game. The next innings the Dodgers took command of the match with an outfield with two out of Corey Seager after the former Tigers had sent baseball Taylor missing the slider. In the eighth inning with two points advantage Roberts decided to get in from Kenley Jansen bolt, All Star close so effective during the regular season especially thanks to an impressive K / BB rate. The Astros did not give up and they did not demoralize, making a single RBI single in the eighth inning with Correa then comparing the match against Jansen this time thanks to the switch hitter Marwin Gonzalez who by reading the left hand the closer cutter managed to send it out from the barriers.
In the tenth inning Houston brought even more inertia on his side with two just shot, one from Altuve and the other from Correa, both against a nasty Josh Fields. LA's response came immediately with a single shot by Yasiel Puig and a single RBI singer from Kiko Hernandez who sent the game to the 11th inning. An eleventh inning at the cardiopalm where the guests came in front of two lengths with the Springer homerun, which also made Cameron Maybin mark who was on the basis of his leadoff single. With Chris Devenski on the launch pad to try to win the salvation the Dodgers have come close again once again when with two out Culberson hit a homerun in the outside center, unfortunately for Californian fans Yasiel Puig was sent strike out closing a crazy game full of suspense and great plays.
The inertia is now all for the Texans who have not only captured the Dodgers Stadium but have shown that Jansen is feasible by removing enormous security from the Angel City team and three home games at the Minute Maid Park (where they are still unbeaten in the postseason ) have a huge chance to win their first ring. On the other hand, the Dodgers must not be demoralized because they have played the match and have the cards on the table to do well in Houston.
