Good morning, Birdland!
The World Series is underway, and the Phillies have taken a rather shocking 1-0 lead. They went behind 5-0 to the Astros early on, but then stormed back against Justin Verlander to tie things up after five innings. Both bullpens were solid in the late innings until J.T. Realmuto launched a 10th inning home run off of Luis Garcia to take a 6-5 lead, one that they would hold onto despite a threat from the Astros in the bottom of the frame.
It was not a great night for Trey Mancini.
