The Dodgers force a Game 7 in 2017 World Series with a 3 – 1 win over Houston in Game 6

ByThis Day in Baseball

The Dodgers force a Game 7 in 2017 World Series with a 3 – 1 win over Houston in Game 6. The Dodgers manage to score twice against Justin Verlander in the 6th to negate a 3rd-inning homer by George Springer, then add an insurance run on a solo shot by Joc Pederson off Joe Musgrove in the 7th. Manager Dave Roberts once again leans heavily on his bullpen, removing Rich Hill after 4 2/3 innings, but four relievers keep the Astros off the board for the rest of the game, including closer Kenley Jansen who pitches the final two innings for his second save.

Los Angeles blows open a tight 1-1 duel to score five times in the ninth, dropping the Astros, 6-2. Joc Pederson’s three-run homer off Joe Musgrove was the big blow. The World Series is tied at two games each.
