What happened: Working a full count after fouling off multiple offerings from Ian Seymour, Sal Frelick timed a four-seam fastball down the middle after seeing the pitch several times in the plate appearance and drove it to dead center field. The solo drive completed the comeback from an early four-run hole in the sixth frame.

Why it matters: The rally secured a 2-0 advantage in a World Series matchup guaranteed to crown a first-time franchise champion. For Frelick, who has reached the playoffs in each of his first four seasons, the tying swing extended his streak to four consecutive postseason games with a run scored.

By the numbers: The home run left Frelick's bat at 104.4 mph to erase the last of a 4-0 deficit, building on an October stretch in which the outfielder recorded four hits over an eight-at-bat span.

What to watch: The best-of-seven series now moves to Game 3, where another victory would push the series advantage to 3-0.
