Final Score: Astros 3, Phillies 2
It’s been a magical run for the Philadelphia Phillies this October — and now, November — but for the first time this postseason, key pieces have looked as though they may be running out of gas over the last two evenings.
A night after getting no-hit, the Phillies managed just six hits, only one of which came after the sixth inning. In total, the Phillies left 11 runners on base and went just 1-7 with runners in scoring position in Game 5.
Following a Game 3 victory, the Phillies seemed to be in the driver’s seat in the Fall Classic, possessing a 2-1 World Series lead with a pair of games left at home in front of a deafening crowd at Citizens Bank Park.
