All the Astros need is just one more victory to repeat glory. On Thursday night, in a low-scoring game, they defeated the Phillies 3-2 in Game 5 with help of productive Jeremy Peña, Justin Verlander, Ryan Pressly, and even a ninth-inning, heroic catch by Chas McCormick to retire JT Realmuto. The World Series comes back to Houston and the Astros can reach the trophy in front of their beloved fans either on Saturday or Sunday.
The beginning of the night was a bit different than the rest of the contest as both teams scored in the first inning.
