PHILADELPHIA, PA (MetroSource-WSAU) — The Astros are one win away from winning the World Series. Houston edged the Phillies 3-2 in Game Five of the Fall Classic in Philadelphia.
Rookie Jeremy Pena finished with three hits and two RBI, including a go-ahead solo homer in the fourth inning. Houston would hold the lead from that point on as it took a 3-2 lead in the series.
Noah Syndergaard was charged with the loss for Philadelphia, which went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. The Phillies will look to force a winner-take-all Game Seven when the series shifts back to Houston on Saturday night.
Philly turns to Zack Wheeler on the mound, while the Astros send Framber Valdez to toe the rubber.
