Today is an off day in the World Series, the series knotted at one a piece. It’s been an entertaining series so far, each offense erupting for an inning, then the pitching holding on just enough for the team that had the lead to be able to keep it.
Now they shift back to Atlanta for three games, beginning tomorrow night.
