Three up, three down for the Astros, top of the first.

Corey Seager back at shortstop for the Dodgers. Curtis Granderson off the World Series roster.

No score, middle one . . .

Chris Taylor swings on Dallas Keuchel's first pitch, deep to left, going, going, going, it is gone,

Second double play turned by the Astros!

Is this going to be a defense vs. offense type game?

Chris Taylor lines into an inning-ending double play, the Dodgers' turn to waste
a leadoff hit. Third straight leadoff hit for the Dodgers in the game.

1-0, Dodgers after three.

Trivia: Taylor is only the fourth man in World Series history to hit a home run to
open his team's batting in the first inning. The others: Don Buford, Dustin Pedroia,
Alcides Escobar.
