The Fall Classic delivers a classic Game 1, with Philadelphia rallying from a five-run deficit for a thrilling 6-5 win in 10 innings.
Not until the top of the 10th, when Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto sent an opposite-field homer beyond the outreached glove of early-innings hero Kyle Tucker did fate seem to make up its mind. And by the time David Robertson worked through the heart of the Astros’ order in the bottom of the inning, the evening’s verdict was clear: For one night at least, the Phillies — in other words, the vibes — won out, 6-5. The Astros lost for the first time this postseason.
The first star to impose his will on the series, however, was Astros outfielder Tucker, a player who has established himself as an annual 30-30 candidate at age 25 but is still something of a forgotten piece of a team headlined by José Altuve and Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez. But the Phillies have not cared much about anyone else’s momentum this month, testing theirs against all comers and finding it strong enough to carry them. And in the fourth, they were able to drop a few hits in front of Astros outfielders on their way to a three-run inning that seemed to offer early evidence that they will not let Houston’s pedigree undermine their sudden serendipity without a fight.
So with the bases loaded and two outs, it was Neris who struck out Nick Castellanos in the biggest moment of the World Series to that point. After blasting each other’s starters for five runs each, neither team scored against the other’s bullpen until the 10th inning, when Realmuto broke the thaw. And the Astros rallied in the bottom of the inning, ending the game with runners on second and third.
