2021 World Series Game 5: Best moments from Houston Astros vs. Atlanta Braves

Stop us if you've heard this before: The Atlanta Braves relied on clutch relief pitching and clutch home runs to earn the win on Saturday night. The only difference between Atlanta's Game 4 victory over the Houston Astros and the others that came before it was how it thrust the Braves squarely on the brink of their first World Series title in 26 years (that was 1995 for the untrained eye).

Atlanta's 3-1 series lead came on the backs of Dansby Swanson, who hit a 1-2 fastball from Cristian Javier out to right field in the bottom of the seventh inning, and pinch-hitter Jorge Soler, who followed with a line shot to left field off a 2-1 slider that just cleared the fence.
