Dodgers vs. Astros: The Thrilling Home Run Derby of World Series Game 2 in 2017 Leads to Astros win thriller for first World Series win

On October 25, 2017 — The Astros win a World Series game for the first time in franchise history as they defeat the Dodgers, 7 – 6, in 11 innings in Game 2 of the 2017 World Series. The Dodgers seem headed for a win as they lead, 3 – 1, in the top of the 8th, Down 3-1 in the eighth, Carlos Correa singles home Alex Bregman against closer Kenley Jansen. Next Marwin Gonzalez ties it up with a homer in the ninth to tie it, and in the 10th, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa hit back-to-back shots off Josh Fields to give Houston a 5 – 3 lead. Ken Giles cannot nail down the win, however, as he gives up a solo homer to Yasiel Puig and a run-scoring single to Kiké Hernandez. In the 11th, the Astros again score two, on a two-run blast by George Springer off Brandon McCarthy, and while Charlie Culberson hits the eighth homer of the game off Chris Devenski with two outs in the bottom of the 11th, the Dodgers fall short by one run. The 8 homers set a World Series record, while the 5 hit in extra innings are a record for any game, postseason or regular season. The Astros claim their first World Series game victory in their sixth try.
