After losing in Game 1 Gerrit Cole bounces back with a stellar outing striking out nine and giving up one earned.
Yet again the road team won, and Houston now has a lead for the first time in this series. Their bats were quiet the first two games but the last two they have been electric. George Springer, Yordan Alvarez and Carlos Correa all had two RBIs.
Max Scherzer was supposed to start this game but was scratched due to a neck injury. Joe Ross was the Nationals starter. He gave up four runs in the first four innings which put them in a deep hole.
Game 6 is tomorrow in Houston at 7:00 on Fox Sports. The pitchers are Stephen Strasburg and Justin Verlander.
