Washington, DC (AP) – Gerrit Cole worked seven brilliant innings and the Houston Astros grabbed a three-games-to-two lead in the World Series by defeating the Nationals in Washington for the third straight night, 7-1. Cole struck out nine and allowed just three hits and two walks, blanking the Nationals until Juan Soto homered in the seventh inning. Yordan Alvarez, Carlos Correa and George Springer each hit two-run homers for the Astros, who can wrap up the series at home as early as Tuesday.
