Braves take 2-1 World Series lead over Astros Friday night

The Atlanta Braves didn’t allow a hit until the eighth inning on their way to a 2-0 shutout of the Houston Astros in Game Three of the World Series Friday night. Ian Anderson went five hitless, while four relievers gave up just two hits the rest of the way Austin Riley doubled in a run in the third inning and Travis d’Arnaud homered in the eighth for Atlanta, which takes a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven set. Game Four is this evening just after 7 at Truist Park.
