WORLD SERIES: RENDON DRIVES IN FIVE, EATON, SOTO HOMER, & STRASBURG SHUTS DOWN ‘STROS AS NATS WIN 7-2 IN HOUSTON TO FORCE GAME 7 TONIGHT!
Game seven from Houston tonight at 8 pm on Fox. This is the first time in major sports playoff history that the visitors (in this case, the Nats) have won six games. By going 5-0 in the postseason, Nats’ ace Stephen Strasburg ties a major league record!
Tonight, Max Scherzer (hopefully) goes for the Nats after missing game five in DC with severe back spasms. The Nats’ Davey Martinez became the first manager ejected from the Series since 2015 for arguing a questionable interference call on Trea Turner at first base that looked like it had killed a Nats’ rally in the seventh inning. However, two batters later, Anthony Rendon saved the day by blasting a majestic two-out, two-run homer to give the Nats some breathing room. Nats’ 21-year-old superstar Juan Soto continued to impress with a “moon shot” home run to give the Nats a 3-2 lead they would not surrender, thanks to Strasburg and Rendon.
Go Nats! Bring the World Series Championship home to DC!
