Yordan Alvarez To Bat Sixth For Astros In World Series Game 2

HOUSTON (SPORTSRADIO 610) -- Yordan Alvarez  moved up a spot in the Astros lineup for Game 2 of the World Series.

The rookie will bat sixth instead of seventh, as he did in Game 1, as the designated hitter.

Shortstop Carlos Correa will bat seventh in the order. Catcher Robinson Chirinos, who catches Game 2 starter Justin Verlander, is batting eighth in the order.

Alvarez went 2-for-3 and walked in his first at bat in Game 1. Correa was 1-for-5.

Here is a look at the Game 2 lineup for the Astros and Nationals.
