The Los Angeles Dodgers took Game 1 of the World Series on their home field Tuesday night, defeating the Houston Astros 3-1 as ace Clayton Kershaw silenced doubters of his postseason prowess with seven dominant innings. Both Kershaw and Houston starter Dallas Keuchel worked quickly, with the game wrapping up in a tidy two hours and 28 minutes to mark the shortest playoff game since 1992. The contest was also the hottest postseason game in recorded MLB history with a 103-degree temperature at first pitch, but Dodger Stadium was rumbling with anticipation nonetheless as it hosted its first World Series game since the club won the championship in 1988.
