The Philadelphia Phillies erased a five-run deficit and rode J.T. Realmuto’s 10th-inning home run to topple the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the WorldSeries.
Tucker hammered a pair of home runs off Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola, the latter giving the Astros a 5-0, second inning lead. And as he opened with three perfect innings, likely AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander seemed ready to reverse a decade’s worth of World Series futility.
He remains 0-6 in eight starts, his ERA ballooning to 6.07. But he did complete five innings, preventing the Astros from totally rewriting the script. The Astros bullpen, by far the most dominant unit this postseason, pitched four shutout innings, lowering its playoff ERA to 0.73 through nine innings to match zeroes with a mix-and-match Phillies unit.
He ended up flat on his back as his disbelieving Phillies teammates celebrated, not unlike a crucial catch he made late in Game 1 of their NLDS conquest of defending champion Atlanta.
