Jose Altuve went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Game 1 of the World Series.

That didn't matter in Game 2 as he launched a leadoff home run in the seventh inning of the Houston Astros' 7-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Altuve’s 22nd postseason home run tied him for second all time with Bernie Williams, ranking behind only Manny Ramirez (29).

"To hit 22 homers in the playoffs and tie him -- always every time that my name is mentioned, before it was Derek Jeter, now it's Bernie Williams -- it means a lot to me," Altuve said. "It makes me keep going out there, hitting homers to help my team, to keep accomplishing things like this. As long as we win, everything's good."

Randy Arozarena made Major League history on Thursday by becoming the first player in playoff history to steal home and hit a home run in the same game.

The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Boston Red Sox 5-0 in Game 1 of the ALDS.

The swipe marked the first steal of home in a playoff game since 2016, when Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez pulled off the feat in the 2016 NLCS and the first straight steal of home in a playoff game since Jackie Robinson's against Yogi Berra and the New York Yankees in 1955.

The 26-year-old outfielder, who is still a rookie despite setting postseason records with 10 homers and 29 hits in 20 games during the 2020 playoffs, stole home against Boston reliever Josh Taylor to make the score 5-0 in the seventh inning after drawing a walk.

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. set a Major League record with his 48 home runs this season.

Guerrero's Hall of Fame father's career-high was 44 long balls.

The Toronto Blue Jays slugger now holds the record for home runs in a season for a player age 22 or younger.

Guerrero surpassed Eddie Matthews, who hit 47 home runs in 1953 in his age-22 season.
