Astros coming out swinging in the first. Don't know who's around, if anyone, but I'll be listening to the early innings until I have to get ready for church tomorrow.

Four singles get the Astros two first inning runs before a double play ends the inning.
A much better second inning for Corbin.
Urquidy put the ball in play during his at bat at least.
Urquidy is off to a good start.
Nationals fail to do anything with a leadoff double.
Chirinos with a home run. 4-0 Astros.
If this holds, the road team will have won each of the first four games of the World Series. It's like a Twins World Series in reverse.
Who'd have thought Jose Urquidy would be the Astros best starter in the World Series?
I was just thinking this is a failed bullpen game.
Bullpen game is just code for the manager saying he reserves the right to pull the starter at any time without being second-guessed.
He got more outs than Greinke. It's the World Series and 2019, managers pull their starter whenever they want.
4-1 again.
Oof. Rodney....
And it's not getting better.
Kyle Tucker pinch hit to start the inning and he's batting again. Time to check how often that happens.
Happened seven times in 2019, including once against the Twins. The record is 11, in 1970 and 1941.
In 1970, the Tigers did it against the Twins and the Twins did against the Tigers the next day in a performance matching the Royals of this year. Also that year was it happening twice on the same day but in different games. Finally. it did happen twice in the same game of a doubleheader.
In 1941 it was less interesting. There was the feat happening twice in a game, again in a doubleheader, however.
