The Atlanta Braves moved a step closer with a 3-2 win Saturday night, they can finish the job Sunday when the World Series continues with Game 5 against the Houston Astros. The Braves took a 3-1 lead in the series Saturday night thanks to another great performance by the bullpen along with back-to-back seventh inning home runs by Dansby Swanson and Jorge Soler.
Atlanta’s offense has done just enough in this series but enough hasn’t been said for the job the pitching staff has done against Houston’s high powered offense. The Astros led the majors in runs scored, wRC+ and fWAR during the regular season.
