Chas McCormick, in a whirlwind trip back to his native Philadelphia for the World Series, was the catalyst for the big fifth inning in the Astros' Game 4 win.
“Yeah, it sucks,” the Astros’ center fielder said Wednesday night, before flashing a big grin.“Here” is familiar turf. Roughly 30 miles west of Citizens Bank Park is McCormick’s hometown of West Chester, Pa.McCormick was the catalyst in making sure the Astros took care of business Wednesday, sparking the five-run fifth inning that backed a four-pitcher no-hitter in a 5-0 victory in Game 4 of the World Series to even the best-of-7 set and guarantee a return to Minute Maid Park for Game 6.
“It’s been crazy. It’s been a lot. It’s been emotional, but it’s been fun. You try to enjoy every second of it. It doesn’t happen that much, Astros-Phillies. It may never happen again.” “I was just looking curveball,” McCormick said. “My first at-bat, he was throwing a lot of curveballs. Second at-bat, he threw two heaters and I knew eventually, he’d throw me one . I was happy to stay back put it through the hole.”
It turned out to be the only one they needed on a night when starter Cristian Javier dominated for six innings before Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly completed the no-hitter.
