The Houston Astros made an impressive comeback a day after being dismantled in the World Series while also making baseball history when they equalized against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Just 24 hours after the 0-7, the favored team clinched a 5-0 in Philadelphia, ensuring that the decision about the most important baseball title in the world would fall in Houston.
The Astros around the four pitchers Cristian Javier, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly also managed the second so-called no-hitter in the history of the World Series. Only the New York Yankees had completely prevented a bat from the opposing team in 1956.
Game five of the tight series will again be in Philadelphia, with game six and a potentially necessary game seven in Houston. The title goes to the team that wins four times first.
It is the Astros’ fourth World Series appearance in the past six years, while the Phillies are playing for baseball’s most important title for the first time since 2009. The Astros had recently lost the World Series twice. In 2017, the team won the title, but had demonstrably cheated. Since then, many baseball fans have been extremely critical of the team. The Phillies, the last team to qualify for the playoffs this season, had last won the title 14 years ago.
