W.S.: 'STROS UP 3-2; GOING BACK TO HOUSTON, HOUSTON...

 

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

By eking out a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday in Game 5 of the 2022 World Series, the Astros took a three-games-to-two advantage in this best-of-seven series and sit one win away from adding the championship .

They now have two shots at home to claim one more victory and the ultimate prize.

Although unsteady at times on Thursday, the Astros’ ace right-hander Justin Verlander tossed five solid innings and finally earned the first World Series win of his decorated career. Fresh off its dominant performance in Game 4’s combined no-hitter, Houston’s bullpen, led by right-handed relievers Bryan Abreu and Ryan Pressly, preserved the slim margin.


Rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña, the Most Valuable Player in the A.L.C.S., delivered with a run-scoring single and a solo home run. And Trey Mancini – a replacement at first base for Yuli Gurriel, who injured his right knee in a rundown in the seventh inning – saved at least one run and the game with his glove with runners on the corners in the eighth.

And in the ninth inning of a one-run game, Astros center fielder Chas McCormick made a jumping catch at the wall to rob Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto of an extra-base hit.

The World Series now shifts to Houston Minute Maid Park. 

Game 6 this year will be thereon Saturday with a starting pitching matchup that is a rematch of Game 2: Houston’s left-hander Framber Valdez, who tossed a gem in the win, will go up against Philadelphia’s right-hander Zack Wheeler.

A similar product familiar to a aluminum home trash can will be given to the first one million paid customers attending the astros baseball game at the astro dome before the game.

The only way the Astros will win the Series is if they cheat. They better hurry up! Time is wasting.
