The 2022 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros has been a treat for fans to watch.
Each team has brought their best in each of the games they have won.
In Game 1 of the series, the Astros jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but the Phillies came clawing back and ultimately wrestled the game away from them, winning 6-5 in 10 innings thanks to the heroics of J.T. Realmuto.
The Astros bounced back to win Game 2 and even the series.
Philadelphia busted out for seven runs in Game 3 and set the single-game World Series home run record, but the Astros would not be denied, as they threw a combined no-hitter in Game 4 to even things up.
Now, it’s 2-2 with Game 5 coming tonight.

Astros, Phils Set For Pivotal Game 5
The Phillies had a chance to take a 3-1 series lead last night with Aaron Nola on the mound, but Nola faltered, and Jose Alvarado wasn’t able to stop the bleeding.
Tonight, the Phillies will have Noah Syndergaard on the mound as they look to regain their momentum and take a 3-2 lead back to Houston.
The Astros will have Justin Verlander.
And so, all of a sudden, it’s a three-game series.
Each team needs just two more wins in order to clinch the World Series.
Philadelphia has not won a title since 2008, while the Astros are looking for their second since 2017.
Tonight’s game will be pivotal.
The Astros are hoping to keep the momentum alive after Game 4 and take a 3-2 lead back home.
It all comes down to these next three games.
