Before his game-saving catch, Nick Castellanos drove in the Phillies’ first run of the World Series.
Man, oh man, that was fun. At its best, the World Series is the perfect display of what makes our game special, and last night’s Game 1 had everything. The Phillies pulled off the rare World Series comeback of five or more runs to beat the Astros, 6–5, in 10 innings.
Philadelphia catcher J.T. Realmuto was the star of the game. He lifted a two-run double off the wall in left-center field that tied the game in the fifth and lined a game-winning, opposite-field solo shot leading off the 10th.
