The Washington Nationals stunned just about everyone but themselves by winning the first two games of the World Series in Houston and look to take a commanding 3-0 lead when they host the Astros on Friday. Washington became the 26th team to win Games 1 and 2 on the road in a best-of-seven series under the 2-3-2 format and only three clubs - the last was the 1996 Atlanta Braves in the World Series - have lost.
