The Nationals rode Stephen Strasburg to a victory in Game 6 on Tuesday to force a decisive, winner-take-all Game 7 on Wednesday. Washington appeared to be in big trouble early in the contest, as the Astros took Strasburg deep twice in the first inning, but settled in and bested Houston with their backs against the wall. The Nationals will now turn to Max Scherzer in Game 7 as they look to bring home the first title in franchise history.
Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto continued to prove their collective worth as both players hit massive homers to give Strasburg all the run support he would need.
