World Series: Astros catapult into Game 6 lead vs. Phillies on mammoth Yordan Alvarez homer, close in on title
Initially a duel between Valdez and Phillies starter Zack Wheeler, Game 6 turned on the sixth inning, when the starters tired and the bats caught up. Phillies’ slugger Kyle Schwarber opened the scoring — and lifted Philadelphia’s hopes — with a solo homer off Valdez. But in the bottom of the frame, the Astros responded with an avalanche.
After falling behind 2-1 in the series, the Astros took control with a combined no-hitter in Game 4 and a tight Game 5 win. In their return to Houston, they avoided the pitfalls of their 2019 World Series loss to the Washington Nationals and closed out the Phillies.
