There have only been three no-hitters in the history of post-season baseball. One of them was tonight.
Cristian Javier was unhittable. He pitched six complete, allowing no hits, only two walks, with nine strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the Astros, who had been held without scoring a run for 15 innings, broke out in the fifth with five runs, way more than enough to protect the lead for a staff that kept the Phillies guessing all night.
That’s one night after they had hit five home runs.
Baseball. One of the worst pitching performances in World Series history, followed immediately by one of the best.
