Starter Ranger Suárez, despite pitching in his first-ever World Series game and making just his second start of the postseason, remained calm and collected on the mound. Based on his aplomb on the mound, one would think he was pitching a game in May. In 151 games with the Diamondbacks last season, Varsho hit 27 home runs, 74 RBIs, and had 16 stolen bases. The breakout campaign nearly doubled his previous career highs in every statistical category.

SF Giants add Correa: Why he’s hated by Dodgers…
With five unforgettable October games under their belt, everyone in and around the organization better understands what it will take to get over the hump and can proceed accordingly. On the other side, likely AL Rookie of the Year Julio Rodríguez had his moments as well. Although he went 1-for-7 and flew out to center to end the game, J-Rod gave the T-Mobile Park Crowd two of its biggest reasons to cheer in this game. This was the mystifying means by which the Astros slowly crushed the confidence of a typically intense CBP crowd that had been eager to witness a win in the Phillies’ final home game. All told, the Phillies left seven men on base in Verlander’s five effective frames.

Deals for Bogaerts, Judge, Contreras and more: What we're hearing at the winter meetings
The Giants were tied to Bellinger in free agency, but he ultimately landed in Chicago with the Cubs. They did sign another 2017 Dodger Tuesday, though, inking a two-year deal with pitcher Ross Stripling, who joins fellow 2017 runners-up Alex Wood and Joc Pederson in San Francisco. Correa, 28, agreed to a 13-year, $350 million deal with San Francisco, as first reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan. Tuesday's deal is the third-largest contract in MLB history, trailing only Mike Trout's 12-year, $426.5 million extension signed in 2019 with the Los Angeles Angels, and Aaron Judge's new $360 million contract with the New York Yankees.
First, the Phillies gave Trea Turner an 11-year deal for $300 million. Then, the Padres signed Xander Bogaerts for 11 years and $280 million. With Correa now in San Francisco, that leaves Atlanta’s Dansby Swanson as the best available shortstop. With that, the Phillies took a 2-1 lead in the World Series, and will send Aaron Nola to the mound in Game 4 on Wednesday in South Philly.
The Astros wasted no time commemorating Alvarez's home run

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call GAMBLER. Take note of the bat flip and words from Tucker in this video that fired up the Houston dugout as well. Eovaldi finally retired his first batter of the inning when Jose Siri flied out to right.
The baseball landed atop the Budweiser bar between the batter’s eye and Houston’s bullpen, making Alvarez’s hustle a moot point. The blast offered more hope for an awakening after Alvarez’s abysmal August. He slugged .312 and struck four extra-base hits in 92 plate appearances. He posted a 50 percent ground ball rate — more than 12 points above his career average. The day Yordan Alvarez awed the Astros began with no pregame batting practice.
Though he had a lefthanded reliever warming, A’s manager Mark Kotsay allowed Martinez to face Alvarez a third time. Alvarez did something to a baseball only a select few in this sport can claim. He arrived at home plate after Jeremy Peña struck Martinez’s hanging slider onto the train tracks.
The Phillies used the long ball to earn a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros and take a two games to one lead in the World Series. The Astros pitcher plunked Crawford in the back on a 3-1 pitch after giving up Dylan Moore’s grand slam that helped the Mariners rally to an 11-8 comeback win. Raley appealed the suspension Friday, when he was also fined for intentionally throwing at and hitting Seattle’s J.P. Crawford. Kendall Graveman struck out three over 1 1/3 innings in his Astros debut. He entered in the seventh for his first outing since Houston acquired him Tuesday from the Mariners.
Instead, Correa signed with the Twins on a three-year, $105.3 million deal that included an opt-out after each season so he could test free agency again. Now, with the Giants deal, which includes no opt-outs and a no-trade clause, Correa will make $385 million after leaving Houston. Former Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa secured the largest shortstop contract in Major League Baseball history as he signed with the San Francisco Giants late Tuesday night.
The Angels couldn’t even argue that point after watching the Astros set a season high by clubbing five home runs to overcome an injury-abbreviated start from José Urquidy and take the series finale, 9-1, on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park. Devers put Boston in front 1-0 when he jumped on Urquidy’s 95 mph fastball and drove it over the center field wall for his seventh homer of the season. Eovaldi (1-2) became the third pitcher in major league history to surrender five homers in an inning, joining Chase Anderson (Sept. 17, 2020 vs Yankees) and Michael Blazek (July 28, 2017 vs. Nationals). José Urquidy (3-1) allowed 12 hits and four runs, including homers to Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez, but lasted five innings to record the victory.
