Perhaps McCullers and the Astros would feel much better about his unprecedentedly futile World Series outcome if he did, in fact, tip his pitches.

McCullers, pitching in his first World Series game since 2017, became the first pitcher in postseason history to give up five home runs in a game.

The Houston Astros won Game 2 on Saturday night to send the World Series back to Philadelphia at 1-1.

J.T. Realmuto’s home run in the 10th inning lifted the Phillies over the Astros in Game 1 of the World Series.

Justin Verlander remains 0-6 in eight starts and saw his World Series ERA balloon to 6.07 – the worst mark in the history of the Fall Classic.

Philadelphia’s catcher hit a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the 10th after his team had rallied out of an early 5-0 deficit.

“If it’s good for the game and the fans enjoy it, it’s something we want to do,” says All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto.

The Astros’ Trey Mancini reflected on his journey to the World Series, which included a battle with colon cancer in 2020.

Football’s TV dominance forced MLB to switch up the World Series schedule, conceding Sunday to the NFL.
