The Astros extended their lead to 4–1 in the top of the sixth, as Robinson Chirinos hit a home run off the left field foul pole netting. Sánchez lasted until one out in the top of the sixth, having allowed four runs on 10 hits while striking out four. With no additional scoring through the middle of the ninth, the Astros brought in closer Roberto Osuna to pitch the bottom of the ninth. Osuna allowed a one-out single to Adam Eaton, but otherwise retired the Nationals; Juan Soto struck out looking to end the Nationals’ eight-game playoff winning streak.
Another starting pitcher from that team, Rick Porcello, later won a World Series with the 2018 Boston Red Sox. BoxscoreThe ceremonial first pitch was thrown out by chef José Andrés. The starting pitchers were Gerrit Cole for Houston and Joe Ross for Washington. Max Scherzer was scheduled to start for Washington, but was scratched about three hours before the game due to neck spasms. On August 31, just seconds before the midnight deadline, the Astros traded for Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander. Following the trade, including the regular season and postseason to this point, Verlander had posted a 9–0 win–loss record with a 1.23 earned run average.

November 13, 2017, issue, with Altuve holding the Commissioner's Trophy and Springer holding a copy of a Sports Illustrated from 2014 that predicted the Astros would win the 2017 World Series. The Astros' win has been seen as a morale boost for the city of Houston, which 9 weeks earlier had suffered tremendous damage due to Hurricane Harvey. According to Manny Fernandez and Paul Debenedetto of the New York Times, "Every city wants a World Series victory. Houston, post-Harvey, needed one."

”, realize the optics of them discrediting me as a woman in STEM? And then there is what I already knew… people will retweet before doing their own fact-checking, especially when they want to believe something is true. Through the 2019 World Series, the most recent team to clinch a World Series title at home was the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in 2013. Through the 2019 World Series, the franchise had competed for 36 seasons as the Montreal Expos (1969–2004) and then 15 seasons as the Washington Nationals (2005–2019). MLB launched an investigation and found evidence that the Astros did engage in illegal electronic sign stealing in 2017 and 2018, but found no evidence they used the scheme in 2019. The Nationals wore their alternate blue jerseys for all seven games.
With the bases loaded and nobody out, Brandon Crawford grounded into a double play, scoring Hunter Pence. In the eighth, with the bases loaded and one out, Pence hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Ángel Pagán with the second and final Giant run of the game. Madison Bumgarner pitched seven shutout innings, yielding only two hits and striking out eight, for the win.

The opener, who whacked the bowler for a six earlier in the over, was caught at long-on after trying to hit another maximum. Litton Das takes a good catch as two fielders run for the catch. Kohli is batting on 112 off 89 balls as India reach 339/3 in 40 overs.
The only other team to win 10 straight games in a postseason when scoring first was the 2004 Red Sox, who also won the World Series. The third-longest streak also belongs to the Red Sox -- the 2007 team won nine straight when scoring first. San Francisco's notable preseason acquisitions were outfielders Melky Cabrera and Ángel Pagán. Cabrera set the Giants' franchise record for hits in the month of May, with 51, and Pagán set the San Francisco Giants record for triples in a season, with 15. On August 15, Major League Baseball meted a 50-game suspension upon Cabrera for his use of a banned substance.

Osuna earned his second save this postseason, as Houston narrowed Washington's lead in the series to 2–1. This became the first World Series to begin with three games won by the road team since 1996, when the first five games were won by the road team. The Astros loaded the bases later in the inning with two walks off Rainey and an infield single off Daniel Hudson, but Hudson struck out Yordan Álvarez to prevent any more scoring. In the bottom of the eighth inning, pinch hitter Kyle Tucker singled, advanced to second on a fly ball by Aledmys Díaz, and Springer batted in another run with a double, pulling the Astros to within one run, 5–4. Doolittle earned his second save of the postseason and the underdogs took the series lead, marking the first time in franchise history that the Nationals won a World Series game. In the tenth inning, McCann was hit by a pitch to put him on base with two outs.

Make a prediction and tell us on Baseball Fever, the best place for serious fans to talk baseball.

The approach of the top-order was the biggest concern in T20Is. He still is one of India's top run-scorers in ODIs but does he score quickly enough? The bowling too lacks ideas whenever there is a big partnership. They could not break the last wicket stand in the first ODI and then Bangladesh off the hook with a mammoth seventh wicket stand in the 2nd ODI. In the absence of Rohit, will Kohli once again walk out to open with Dhawan.
The series was played in a 2–3–2 format, with the Dodgers hosting Games 1, 2, 6, and 7; and the Astros hosting Games 3, 4, and 5. The Dodgers had a 4-0 lead and were already coming off an 18 inning Game 3 win. It really sucked because Hill was a Boston guy born and raised in Massachusetts. — once thought to be the Game 4 starter — made 97 pitches out of the Red Sox bullpen. Each team used 23 players on their rosters, a postseason record. Gerry Davis, as senior umpire, served as crew chief for the six-man crew.
