The Astros beat the Atlanta Braves 7-2 Wednesady night in Houston to even the World Series at one game each.

Jose Altuve hit a leadoff double and scored in the first inning, and later added a solo homer in the seventh.

It was a special night for rookie Jose SirlI, who made his Major League Baseball debut on September 3 after being in the minor leagues since 2013.

He beat out an infield single in the second inning to score Kyle Tucker and put the Astros ahead 2-1, and then scored from first when the Braves misplayed a hit. Game 3 will be Friday in Atlanta.

 

Indians To Change Name

Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians announced in July that it would be changing it name to the “Guardians” for the 2022 season, after years of criticism from Native Americans and other critics.

But now a roller derby team that’s called itself the Cleveland Guardians since 2013 sued the team Wednesday, charging the new name infringes on its trademark.

The Indians said in a statement, “We believe there is no conflict between the parties and their ability to operate in their respective business areas.” 

 

Trump To Attend W.S. Game 4

Former President Donald Trump will attend Game 4 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta, ‘USA Today’ reported Wednesday.

Braves CEO terry McGuirk said the team was surprised when Trump called the league to request tickets, stating, “Of course, we said yes. We are apolitical. We’re open to anyone coming. It’s great that he wants to come to our game.” McGuirk said Trump will be in a private suite.
