A LOT happened in Game 1 of the World Series:
Of the previous five times a team overcame a five-run deficit or more, four went onto win the World Series.
"We're down five, we faced adversity, and we did what we always do," Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos said after the game. "Just found a way to pass the baton and keep something going."One minute, everyone is wondering if Astros future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander is going to go Don Larsen on us and pitch a a perfect game in the World Series.
In the fifth inning, it was Realmuto’s turn for a two-run double, tying the game, and once again leaving Verlander winless in the World Series – 0-6 with a 6.07 ERA. Verlander has been here since the beginning of the Astros’ glorious run, winning the World Series in 2017, the pennant in 2019, 2021, 2022, and reaching the American League Championship Series all six years. “I mean, how could you not?’’ Verlander said. “I sure would like to cement another championship to really drive that point home, and here we are with a chance to do that. But, we've obviously been one of the best franchises in the history of the game since this run we've been on.
The Astros still need four victories to pull it off, and they discovered Friday night, they are facing a team that refuses to quit.
