This is the first time in World Series history that a team has started off a game with three consecutive extra-base hits. The Astros seem ready to go after losing a heartbreaker on Friday night in extra innings.

Houston Astros fans are absolutely loving the way their team has came out firing in game two. They were disappointed in the team's tough loss yesterday. They felt like the team had dropped the ball.

Fans are eager for this team to keep piling on runs. They know just hot hot this Philadelphia offense can get. They don't want to experience another comeback loss.

"We needed to be humbled yesterday so now we win" one Houston fan said.
"Close it out now" said another.

Houston fans loved the repsone from their team after taking the loss in game one. They know how important winning game two is for this team.

In game one, it seemed as if the Houston Astros would cruise to an easy victory after scoring five quick runs in three innings. Most teams would have given up and looked towards game two, but not the Phillies. They clawed their way back from a five-run deficit to take out the Astros in extra innings.

Houston can't let that happen again. They can't go the last seven innings of the game without scoring any runs. They have to put as much separation as they can between them and the Phillies.

A game-two win is important for Houston. They don't want to go into Philadelphia down 0-2 in the series. They need to even up the series or this their season can end in Phjiladelphia.
