The Houston Astros had a come-from-behind win against the Atlanta Braves in Game 5 to force another game back home, and the Braves have another chance to win the World Series.
The Braves appeared to be on their way to clinch the pennant on their home field with a 1st inning grand slam off Adam Duval, but they blew the lead in the face of Houston’s offense and lost their first game at home this postseason 9-5.

Atlanta will be starting with Max Fried on the mound, who recorded a 3.04 in 165.2 innings in the regular season. But he had an ERA of 5.40 in four starts this postseason with 23 strikeouts against three walks.

Houston will be handing the ball to rookie Luis Garcia, who took the Astros’ loss in Game 3 after giving up three hits, a run, and four walks. The 24-year-old has only made one start on short rest in his career.
