The Houston Astros bounced back
to win game two of the 2022 World Series 5-2 over the Philadelphia Phillies in
a game played at Minute Maid Park in Houston. The game was completed in
three hours and 18 minutes. But, keep in mind Houston didn't bat in the
ninth inning.
The game was seven minutes
longer than Game Two of the 2021 series between the Astros and Atlanta Braves. Last night's game was 52 minutes
longer than game two of the 1972 World Series between the Oakland A's and Cincinnati Reds. That game 50 years ago featured
A's Hall of Fame pitcher Catfish Hunter outdueling the Reds Ross Grimsley 2-1 at
old Riverfront Stadium.
Last night's contest featured
24 plate appearances in which the batter failed to put the ball in play.
There were 17 batters who whiffed and seven more that took a walk. And to
drag it out even more there were five pitching changes in a game that was never close.
