“Great hitter, obviously,” Altuve said of Williams. “To hit 22 homers in the playoffs and tie him, always, every time my name is mentioned next to — before it was Derek Jeter, now it is Bernie Williams — it means a lot to me.

“As long as we win, everything’s good.”

The Astros certainly do their share of winning, even if their only World Series triumph remains the tarnished one from 2017. In tying the series at 1-1 as it swings to Atlanta for Game 3 on Friday night, the Astros remain in prime position to add another trophy to their display case.
