HOUSTON (AP) — José Urquidy started Eddie Rosario with strikes. Five of them in a row.
Looking calm and poised a night after overamped rotation-mate Framber Valdez was chased early, Urquidy's control gave the Astros' bats a chance to break out, and Houston rode a four-run second inning to a 7-2 win over Atlanta on Wednesday night that tied the World Series at one game apiece.
A 26-year-old right-hander from Mazatlan, Urquidy became the first Mexican pitcher to make three World Series starts.
