Dodgers Vs. Up next. Published on October 22, Author Matthew Moreno. The Braves opted for literally the most unconventional start in World Series history, giving the ball to Dylan Lee. With only two games pitched in the regular season and only four more innings of major-league pitching experience than you Lee was by far the most inexperienced pitcher ever to start a World Series game. Lee faced four batters and threw 15 pitches, 10 balls and five strikes. He surrendered an infield hit to Jose Altuve, then loaded the bases after striking out Alex Bregman.
That was enough to bring Brian Snitker to the mound and send Lee to the dugout. Greinke batted in the top of the second, and singled for what could well be the final hit by a pitcher hitting by virtue of rulebook requirements in major-league history. Through the first three innings, Astros stranded seven runners and were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
Finally, in the top of the fourth, they cracked through again. He intentionally walked Yuli Gurriel and then induced a pop-up out of pinch hitter Marwin Gonzalez to keep the score halfway through regulation. Greinke exited the game after four innings, scattering four hits, smothering the Braves and chunking the hit of his own.
The Braves finally joined the party in the bottom of the sixth. Rosario doubled, Freddie Freeman walked, and then Riley singled to left, scored Rosario, and advanced to second.
All the runners left on base — 11 through seven innings — came back to bite Houston in the bottom of the seventh. Swanson and pinch-hitter Jorge Soler hit home runs that cleared the right- and left-field fences, respectively, by a combined total of about 18 inches.
Braves about to go up ? Atlanta took a lead into the eighth, and Luke Jackson set down two batters before facing Altuve, once again swinging a bat in a crucial situation. Altuve rifled the first pitch he saw from Jackson into deep left field. Rosario gave chase to what appeared to be a certain double, but backhanded the ball on the run to shut down the Astros and leave the Braves three outs from a lead.
The Braves now have their first opportunity to close out a World Series since Game 5 against Cleveland in Houston, meanwhile, will try to stave off elimination and avoid losing its second World Series in three years. Game 5 begins at p. Sunday night. Jay Busbee is a writer for Yahoo Sports. Follow him on Twitter at jaybusbee or contact him at jay.
