The Houston Astros picked a fine time to hand the Atlanta Braves their first home loss of the postseason.
Fresh off overcoming a grand slam in the first inning, the Astros will aim to stave off elimination again on Tuesday night when they host the Atlanta Braves in Game 6 of the World Series.A winner-take-all Game 7, if needed, is scheduled for Wednesday night.
The Astros don't have to look too far to find reasons for optimism despite trailing 3-2 in the Series.
"We were down 3-0 last year (to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2020 American League Championship Series); we forced a Game 7," Astros shortstop Carlos Correa said after Sunday's 9-5 win in Atlanta.
