The Houston Astros' high-powered offense came alive in extras.

George Springer hammered a two-run homer in the 11th inning off Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Brandon McCarthy to give the Astros a 7-5 lead in Game 2 of the World Series.

Springer's blast made the Astros the first team in MLB history to go deep three times in extras during a postseason game, according to ESPN Stats and Info, following Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa's back-to-back long balls in the 10th.
