The Houston Astros have rallied from a 2-1 World Series deficit and pulled off two consecutive wins in Philadelphia to take a 3-2 lead home for Game 6.
Now, the Astros are just one win away from clinching their second World Series title and sending the Philadelphia Phillies home for the winter.
Justin Verlander finally snapped a dubious World Series streak and picked up his first win after losing six of his last eight Fall Classic starts.
After the game, Verlander got a chance to see his brother Ben, who is a FOX Sports analyst.
The two shared a nice moment together and shared a hug on the field before Justin headed back into the Astros clubhouse.

Verlander Brothers Share A Moment
On Twitter, Ben mentioned that he would remember this moment forever.
Not everybody has a brother who’s an ace and pitching in the World Series.
But Ben was lucky enough to share a touching moment with his brother after Justin had earned his first ever World Series win.
Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love after all, so it’s the perfect place to share a moment like this.
Verlander pitched five innings and struck out six batters while allowing just one run before giving way to the powerful Houston bullpen.
The two brothers may have a chance to share another moment together after Game 6 or Game 7, as the Astros are obviously now just one win away from a World Series title.
But moments like last night’s hug are the wholesome moments that make you appreciate the beauty of sports.
