Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Astros, 6-2
Game 5 was big. So was Lance McCullers Jr..

In leading Houston to a crucial 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Minute Maid Park today, the Houston starter rose to the occasion, tossing 5 good innings. McCullers Jr. threw 5.0 innings of 2-hit ball as the Astros defended their home field to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 World Series.

Had Jose Altuve not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Altuve hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Astros.

"I had pretty good command out there," said McCullers Jr..

The next game is set to be played for Wednesday, October 30th , 2024 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
