The Atlanta Braves are World Series champions for the first time since 1995. The Braves won the 2021 World Series on Tuesday, defeating the Houston Astros 7-0 (box score) in Game 6 to take the series, 4-2. The Braves, who won the title at Houston's Minute Maid Park, were paced by an offensive onslaught and a gem from left-hander Max Fried in the title-clinching win. Atlanta jumped out to a sizable lead thanks to two multi-run home runs early in the game. Jorge Soler delivered a massive three-run blast in the third inning to put Atlanta up early. Statcast had Soler's home run traveling 446 feet with an exit velocity of 109.6 mph. Soler, who was named World Series MVP, entered the game having homered twice as part of a 5 to 17 start to the Fall Classic. In Game 6, he hit the loudest homer of the postseason: Then, in the fifth, the Braves plated a pair of runs on a Dansby Swanson homer. Swanson's wasn't quite as impressive as Soler's, but it did have an exit velocity of 108.8 mph and it carried some 411 feet, again according to Statcast. A Freddie Freeman double later in the fifth (and then a homer in the seventh) gave the Braves what proved to be an insurmountable 7-0 lead.
