HOUSTON – They toppled the invincible, and took a massive step toward doing the impossible.
Yes, the Washington Nationals’ first World Series victory in their franchise’s history wasn’t just any old Game 1 win.
They felled the unbeatable Gerrit Cole, breaking the Houston Astros ace’s 19-game winning streak, and showcased for the world their superstar slugger who, for at least a few more days, is still too young to drink.
In this startling, World Series-turning 5-4 victory, the Nationals got a game-tying solo home run from Juan Soto, who turns 21 on Friday.
