Three up three down for the 'Stros in the top of the fifth, including Josh Reddick
looking at strike three knee high.
1-1, tied, middle five. . .

If you don't count the two solo bombs, it's a pitching and defense duel so far. Both teams
are playing slick in the field.

Both teams complaining about plate umpire Phil Cuzzi's strike zone tonight . . .

Logan Forsythe dials Area Code 5-4-3 for the side. Third double play of the night by
the Astro defense. 1-1 tied after five.

Great game!!!

I knew it would be a great game just by the stats!  The Dodgers and Astros managed to maneuver through the penant race.

Mind you, I would have loved to see my D-Backs here.  Perhaps next year!

Three double plays by the Astros.  Wonder how many double plays that have been executed by a team in Game 1 of the World Series?

Ten strikouts already by Kershaw???

If both teams are complaining, then Cuzzi's calls are fair to midlin, so to speak.

Another strikouts for Kershaw!  Sheesh!

Three up, three down, eleven punchouts for Kershaw, six of them called strike threes - - - first Dodger pitcher to strike out
double digits in a World Series game since . . . Sandy Koufax, Game Seven, 1965 World Series.

1-1, tied, middle six . . .

Some of the calls against both sides' hitters were very dubious, so far.

You would know far better than I do.  I most definitely will agree with you!

Turner hits one high and deep to left center, going, going, going, this one is gone, goodbye!
Justin Turner, two-run bomb, 3-1 Dodgers, bottom of the sixth!

I've seen some games in Dodger Stadium. When the crowd gets that loud it can swallow you
alive if you're sitting in the lower sections of the park.

@Cyber Liberty We were just talking about the pitch previous to this home run pitch was a very bad call by the home plate ump.

Turner got him!  I have seen this happen so many times.  Home Plate ump calls an incorrect strike, next strike, it is outta here!

I got lucky this year at our stadium, Chase Field. I had seats six rows behind home plate, but on the Cubbies' side.  Usher saw how I was walking because my back was killing that day.  She sat me down right in front where I could stand or sit.  Saw Goldy hit a home run!

Routine double play.  Dodgers only got one of them.

Stop the presses! Clayton Kershaw pitches the seventh and . . . lives!
Back-to-back forceouts at second help after Altuve's leadoff single. Fly out to center ends it.
3-1, Dodgers, middle seven.

Seager at short looked a little imbalanced. Remember, he missed the NLCS with back trouble. Might
still be trying to stretch it a bit. Give Forsythe credit for not rushing on the play and getting the sure
out after knocking the awkward toss down.

I think this is probably the best World Series game I have seen in recent years!  Forsythe deserves a lot of credit, for sure.
