Astros dash Braves hopes of winning World Series with Game 5 win, 9-5

ATLANTA - Just in time, and the Houston Astros broke out the bats. Because if they had waited any longer, this World Series would've been over.

After a less than stellar performance the last couple of games, the Astros managed to turn things around in an electrifying way Sunday night at Truist Park in Atlanta. And even though things seemed tough, especially with the Braves making a grand slam early on in Game 5, the Astros proved to fans they would not go down easily.

Staggered by Adam Duvall's grand slam in the first inning, Correa and Alex Bregman ended their slumps in a hurry.
