LOS ANGELES (AP) — With both of their bullpens worn down, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros get a day to recover today, before resuming a nail-biter of a World Series tomorrow night in L-A.

The Astros carry a three-games-to-two lead in the Series, after a ten-inning, 13-to-12 win last night.

The two teams have already broken the record for home runs in a single World Series — with 22 — and there are still two games to go.

KPUG Edit: You can hear Game 6 of the World Series on KPUG 1170AM & 97.9FM with coverage beginning at 4pm.
