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."
