No team had ever gone 8-0 at home in a single postseason the Braves were one win away from managing that feat.
The Braves held a 3-1 series lead coming into the night, but from the jump, the odds weren’t in their favor. The Astros needed only five outs to catch the Braves and six more to pass them en route to a 9-5 victory. “When” arrived Sunday night in Game 5 of the World Series, and it didn’t even matter that the Atlanta Braves streaked out to a four-run lead on one swing of Adam Duvall’s bat. So it was always a matter of when, not if, the Astros would bust out the big sticks. They’d spent the first two games of the World Series in Atlanta looking like their bats had gotten lost in baggage claim, managing a mere two runs on 10 hits across 18 innings. The Astros ranked second in OPS and third in slugging percentage. This season, Houston led the majors in hits, runs, RBIs, and batting average. ATLANTA - You didn’t think the Astros were going to just go softly into the offseason, did you?
