Massive strike out by Hudson. Astro strand 3 on base to end the 7th... 5-3

Soto is on fire!!! 3rd hit for the night... Can't believe he is only 20

5-4 Astros just about tied it with a massive HR

5-4 nationals lead heading into the 9th!!!!

Nationals out in 6 pitches... Bottom of the 9th about to start and the heart of the Astro's line up are on deck... This is going to be tough

NATS WIN game 1 on the road!!!

Pitching match up tomorrow is MASSIVE - Strassburg vs Verlander...

Interesting fact. Ryan Zimmerman was the firt player to be drafted to the Washington Nationals and he was the first person to hit a home run for them in a world series... Thought that was pretty cool. Loyalty is so rare in sport these days, which makes this even cooler i reckon

Nationals strike firs, Rendon hits one off the wall to send two home. none out 2-0

Nats strand 1 on base. 2-0 middle of the first

Bregman hits a monster 2 run HR for the Astros. Scores tied 2-2. End of the 1st

Scores stay the same.. 2-2 end of the 2nd

Through 3. scores level 2-2

Through 4. scores level 2-2

Pitching dual at the moment... Bats have been cold since the 1st.

Mid 5th

unbelievably Strassburg got out of the 6th (will be his final inning) unscathed... Astro's left two stranded on base...

Scores still level at 2-2 through 6

Suzuki (nationals) hits a massive HR to take the lead 3-2 top of the 7th...

I can't verlander getting through this innings

Nationals get another home 4-2. 2 out in the top of the 7th

Add another 2 runs. 6-2.

zimmerman now the 9th man at bat this innings.

Minute maid is silent

Nats with another 2

8-2
