World Series schedule 2019: Date, score for every Astros vs. Nationals game image

The wild-card Nationals and the 107-win Astros took the 2019 World Series to the max. Fittingly, Max Scherzer started the climactic Game 7 for Washington. He was just one of the many top-flight starting pitchers who threw in this Fall Classic.

For Washington, it was Scherzer, Series MVP Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin, who followed Schrerzer to the mound in relief in the decider. For Houston, it was Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke, who was masterful as the Game 7 starter.

It was not a coincidence that these staffs anchored the AL and NL pennant winners throughout the MLB playoffs . Rather, at a time of year when even the deepest of bullpens are strained, having reliable starting pitching options to go at least six innings was essential to the success of these teams.

In the end, the Nationals (born the Montreal Expos) pitched their way to the franchise's first world championship and the first title for the nation's capital since 1924.

Here is how the 2019 World Series was decided, game by game.
