In the top of the 10th, Ryan Theriot ended Coke's strikeout streak, leading off with a single to right. A sacrifice bunt by Brandon Crawford moved Theriot to second. Then Scutaro served a single in front of center-fielder Austin Jackson, which scored the decisive run. In January 2012, prior to the start of the season, the Tigers signed first baseman Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214 million contract. In the 2012 World Series, Prince Fielder would manage only one hit, a single, in 14 at-bats. Pitcher Justin Verlander (17–8) led the American League in strikeouts with 239.
George Springer's two-run home run in the top of the ninth stretched Houston's lead to 7–1. With Ryan Pressly ending the game by allowing no baserunners in the bottom of the ninth, the Astros moved to within a victory of their second title in three years. This became the third World Series—along with 1906 and 1996—to have the road team win the first five games.
World SeriesGame 3
For the fourth time since 1985, when the MLB postseason expanded the LCS to a best of 7, the World Series saw a team who swept its LCS face a team who won a LCS Game 7. The previous three times, 1988, 2006, and 2007, the Game 7 pennant-winner prevailed. In the United States, Fox televised the games, with Joe Buck calling play-by-play in his 15th World Series, and Tim McCarver handling color commentary for his 23rd World Series. Ken Rosenthal also appeared on the Fox telecasts as a field reporter, with Erin Andrews and Chris Myers joining him for select games. Fox Deportes carried the Series in Spanish on American cable and satellite TV.
Aníbal Sánchez started for the Nationals, while Zack Greinke started for the Astros. In the second inning, Josh Reddick batted in Carlos Correa as Houston scored the game's first run. In the third inning, José Altuve doubled and advanced to third on an error, then scored on an infield single by Michael Brantley, giving the Astros a 2–0 lead.
India's star top order is what comes to mind for the West Indies star when he thinks of a dream hat-trick.
He was going to hit .240 with 20 home runs of meh every year. His heroics that game make him an unsung legend of the 2018 Boston Red Sox World Series team. The A's have lost eight consecutive postseason winner-take-all games, the longest streak in history. Kershaw allowed a home run to Brandon Woodruff in NLCS Game 1. He became just the third pitcher in postseason history to hit a home run when pitching in relief, joining Travis Wood in 2016 NLDS Game 2 and Rosy Ryan in 1924 World Series Game 3. The Dodgers started an all-right-handed lineup in World Series Games 1 and 2.
Hossain bowls it slightly full, wide of the off stump and Kishan smacks it over the long-on fence this time. Virat Kohli hist half-century off 54 balls, India 206/1 after 27.2 overs vs Bangladesh in Chattogram. Meanwhile, Kohli and Ishan break out in Bhangra, celebrating the epic feat. Kohli passes the strike to Ishan, who does the same in the following delivery. Eight runs come off the over as IND reach 354/5 in 43 overs.

The Dodgers were the only team to release a statement the week the report was released, only to say that they had been ordered by MLB not to comment on the punishments or "any wrongdoing during the 2017 World Series." For the first time, MLB sold presenting sponsorships to all of its postseason series; the internet television service YouTube TV is the first-ever presenting sponsor of the World Series. Correa proposed to his girlfriend, 2016 Miss Texas USA winner Daniella Rodríguez, on live television during a postgame interview conducted by Rosenthal. Two years after this game, when MLB sanctioned the Astros for sign stealing during the 2017 season, Alex Wood said he and Austin Barnes changed signs every ten pitches because the Dodgers had suspected the Astros of sign stealing. Wood later said that the team tried to get Clayton Kershaw, Game 5 starter, to follow the same method, but Kershaw did not think it was necessary and did not want to disrupt his routine.
The Red Sox broadcast was on WEEI 93.7 FM in English with Joe Castiglione, Tim Neverett and Lou Merloni, and in Spanish on WCCM 1490 AM with Uri Berenguer. The World Series was televised nationally by Fox for the 19th straight year. Joe Buck was the play-by-play announcer, with John Smoltz as the color commentator. Fox Deportes offered a Spanish-language feed, with Rolando Nichols providing play-by-play and Carlos Álvarez and Edgar Gonzalez doing color commentary. Alex Cora, seen here as a player in 2008, led the Red Sox to the World Series championship in his first year as manager. Until game 1 of the 2022 World Series, this is the last World Series game to go to extra innings.
Boston Red Sox
There was a LBW appeal in the final delivery against Anamul, but the ball was drifting down the leg side. The Giants failed to defend their World Series championship in 2013. San Francisco led the National League West early in the season, but critical injuries and subpar play on both ends doomed the Giants. They were eliminated from the playoff race on September 11, 2013, becoming the second defending World Series champion in three years to not make the postseason, after the 2011 Giants. In 2014, the Giants would, again, win the World Series and thereby continue their even-years streak of pennants and World Championships .
The Series ended with umpire Brian O'Nora calling a third strike on Miguel Cabrera. After throwing Cabrera several consecutive sliders, Romo threw a fastball that backed into Cabrera's zone, which may have surprised the batter. As in Game 2, Sergio Romo converted a save, his second of three in the Series.
With no further scoring, the Astros evened the series, 2–2, ensuring a sixth game in Houston. This was the fifth time a World Series started with the road team winning the first four games, the most recent occurrence having been 1996. The fourth-seeded Nationals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers at home in the National League Wild Card Game, coming behind from a 3–1 deficit in the eighth inning to win 4–3.
They combined for 34 strikeouts, the most in a World Series game and tied for the most in any postseason game. The franchise, then playing as the Montreal Expos, had one postseason series victory in the strike-shortened 1981 baseball season. That year, the postseason included an extra round, with the first half winner of each of two divisions in each league playing the second half division winner. The below game summaries include a line score of each game, showing the runs scored by each team during each inning. Various baseball terms appearing in the summaries can be found in the glossary of baseball.
A homer by Matt Kemp in the second inning gave the Dodgers a run, and an RBI single by Manny Machado in the third inning tied the score, 2–2. In the top of the fifth, a groundout by Machado plated Brian Dozier to even the score, 3–3.Sale wound up pitching into the fifth inning, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. The Red Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the fifth, and scored the go-ahead run when Xander Bogaerts grounded into a fielder's choice. A single by Rafael Devers off reliever Ryan Madson in the next at-bat made it 5–3.
With his work in this Series, Davis set a new record for postseason games umpired in American major league history, with 115. The Astros had home-field advantage for the series, due to having a better regular-season record than the Nationals. It was the third World Series in which home-field advantage was decided by the regular-season records of the American and National league champions, a practice that started in the 2017 season. It was the first World Series in which the Houston Astros had home-field advantage. The series was played in a 2–3–2 format, with the Astros hosting Games 1, 2, 6, and 7; and the Nationals hosting Games 3, 4, and 5.
