The Astros aren't done yet.
Both in the World Series and in Game 5 in a microcosm, Houston demonstrated its ability to come back. Trailing 4-0 after the first inning, the Astros bounced back to finish the game having scored five unanswered runs to beat Atlanta 9-5, handing the Braves their first loss at home this postseason. The game also ensured that a team that had fallen behind in the series three games to one would have a shot to play two at home.
But make no mistake: the Braves still see this as their series to win. They will be handing the ball off to Max Fried in Game 6, who pitched to an impressive 3.04 ERA in 165.2 innings during the regular season. He struggled in his Game 2 start against Houston, however, as he surrendered six runs (all earned) on seven hits and a walk over five innings.
The Astros were originally slated to start Jose Urquidy, but after he pitched an inning of relief in Game 5, they will now hand the ball to rookie Luis Garcia. Garcia made a compelling case for AL Rookie of the Year as the 24-year-old pitched 155.1 innings and had a 3.48 ERA with 167 strikeouts. Though he allowed only one earned run against Atlanta in his Game 3 start, Garcia struggled with command as he walked four batters and gave up three more hits.
