A day after inclement weather postponed Game 3 of the 2022 World Series, Lance McCullers was aiming to lead the Astros to another victory against the Phillies and move Houston one step closer to a World Series title.
However, the Astros pitcher put out a performance that he will likely want to forget, allowing five home runs in 4 1/3 innings of action on Tuesday. In doing so, he became the first pitcher in MLB history to allow five homers in a World Series game. Only one pitcher, Dick Hughes, has allowed four home runs in a World Series game in the last 83 years.
