Final thoughts

The Houston Astros did what they needed to do in Game 2: they evened up the series 1-1 and avoided falling into a 2-0 hole against a Philadelphia Phillies team that doesn’t give up. Now, they just have to find a way to win on the road against a Phillies team that has yet to lose a home game this postseason. Game 1, of course, is also on Halloween, so that’s a sign that things will all go smoothly.

Listen, it’s the World Series. These are supposed to be difficult!

We will continue to cover the 2022 World Series here at the Guardian until the last out is recorded. However, this will end today’s live coverage. So I just want to thank everybody who followed along with today’s liveblog, particularly those who contributed along the way. Ciao!
