Astros strike first in Dodgers rivalry with Carlos Correa home run.
Many MLB fans were paying close attention to the Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Dodgers game on Tuesday night due to the rivalry stemming from the 2107 World Series. That year the Astros secured their first-ever title by defeating the Dodgers, who were the favorites to win. But two years later that all came crashing down when the team was caught stealing signs through the 2017-2019 seasons.
They were not stripped of the title and many fans were looking to their first game since the news to see exactly how the Dodgers might punish the Astros for their actions.
But it was the Astros who struck first with a Carlos Correa single homer.

At press time it was the only run on the board for either team and many more innings to go, but for Dodgers fans, it wasn’t the best start to what many felt might be their chance at revenge.
