Record heat may partly be Avengers XXX 2 Porn Parody (2015)to blame for the bizarre, historic, and exciting second game of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros on Wednesday night.
A record-setting 8 home runs were hit during the course of 11 innings of play. Games with higher temperatures tend to, but don't always result in, a greater number of home runs, since higher temperatures allow balls to fly a bit farther than they would in colder, denser air.

A brush fire was burning within sight of Dodgers stadium, a testament to the extremely hot, dry, and windy conditions at game time.
Some of the homers would've been hit out of the park no matter what the temperature was. However, others, particularly the tying home run by the Astro's Marwin Gonzalez in the 9th inning, might have fallen short of the wall on a cooler day.
The first two games of the 2017 World Series took place during an unusual late season heat wave and wildfire outbreak in California.
In fact, Game One set an all-time high temperature milestone, with a first pitch temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. This didn't just break the previous record for the hottest postseason game -- it shattered it. The previous hottest postseason game had a temperature of 94 degrees at first pitch, and it took place in Phoenix in 2001, according to meteorologist Alex Lamers.
On Tuesday, high temperatures reached a record-setting 108 degrees Fahrenheit in parts of southern California, which wasn't just a record for that region: It was also likely the hottest temperature ever observed in the U.S. this late in the year.
Meteorologists and baseball fans have long known that, all things being equal, hot weather is associated with higher scoring games. Extreme heat can help make the difference between a line drive and a shallow home run, since higher temperatures allow balls to travel slightly farther. Cold temperatures, on the other hand, can slightly inhibit home runs. Statistics from games during 2017 show this temperature effect.

According to mlb.com, major league teams tend to hit better and score more runs during hotter games. "Just 3.1 percent of at-bats ended in a home run at the coldest temperatures; 4.4 percent did at the warmest," wrote MLB columnist Mike Petriello on Oct. 24, comparing games that took place across a range of temperatures.
Given the increased likelihood of more severe and long-lasting heat waves around the world, stemming from human-caused global warming, we might need to get used to games like Wednesday night's.
The World Series now goes to Houston, where temperatures are cooler, and a domed stadium means the climate will be more controlled. In other words, don't expect another topsy turvy home run derby of a game to occur.
Then again, with these two teams, you never know...
