The Fall Classic was just that last night. Game 2 of the World Series went to the Astros 7-6 in 11 innings over the Dodgers. Houston rallied for runs in the eighth and ninth innings to send the game to extras, and a two-run homer from George Springer in the top of the 11th held up. The game featured a World Series-record eight home runs, including four by the Astros in their final three frames. Games 3, 4 and 5 are in Houston starting tomorrow night.
