World Series - Houston Astros v Philadelphia Phillies - Game Five The won Game Five of the World Series against the on Friday. It was a low-scoring affair thanks to great pitching performances on both sides. Notably, recorded his first World Series win after allowing only one run through six innings. For the Phillies, it was another game of their offense failing to reach the heights it once did. The Astros now have a 3-2 lead in the series and are just one win away from being crowned champions. As if this was not enough of an advantage, the next two games will be played in Houston. Winning two straight against the Astros would be difficult, and winning two straight on the road may be nearly impossible. Sarah Langs pointed out on Twitter that teams in the Astros' situation almost always go on to win the series. In postseason series with the current 2-3-2 format that have been tied 2-2, teams winning Game 5 on the road before going back home for Games 6 and 7 have finished off the series win 19 of 24 times (79%) The @Astros are going home with a chance to clinch!

While there is no shame in losing to a great team like the Houston Astros, that did not reduce the pain of the loss. The run was fun while it lasted The run was fun while it lasted No words.

1 million chances blown by our 2 and 4 hitters. No words. 1 million chances blown by our 2 and 4 hitters. i knew it was too good to be true i knew it was too good to be true The Philadelphia Phillies have relied on their home-field advantage all postseason, but the Astros seem to have found the answer to it. However, they are likely the only team in the league with the pitching depth necessary to win these games. The Phillies offense went from explosive to silent in the span of just two days. Unexpected run, horrible couple games. Unexpected run, horrible couple games. Disappointing, some bats have gone cold, but this team fights, and that's what we can ask. Trailing series 3-2. Good for a Philly-area kid to make a great outfield catch.

Good for a Philly-area kid to make a great outfield catch. At this point in the series, every error made is examined under a microscope. The error in the game came courtesy of Rhys Hoskins and fans are not happy about it. Despite his high level of play all season, one mistake can change fan opinions in an instant. The dream for the Phillies is not dead yet though, and they still have a chance to prove they are the best team in the . I will never ever respect Rhys Hoskins again I will never ever respect Rhys Hoskins again It’d be nice if some key players show up for these last 2 games… FINAL: Astros 3, Phillies 2FINAL: Astros 3, Phillies 2It’d be nice if some key players show up for these last 2 games… It would be completely fitting for us to somehow pull two wins out of our a$$ in Houston.

The Philadelphia Phillies will have to play near-perfect baseball to defeat the Houston Astros

World Series - Houston Astros v Philadelphia Phillies - Game Five There is no room left for errors or underwhelming play from the Phillies in this World Series. If they want to end the season with a win, they need to essentially be perfect. It is a task far easier said than done, but the Phillies have been performing the unlikely all postseason. They just have to do it two more times. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
