Good morning, Camden Chatters.
After a dynamite Game 5 of the World Series, today is the final travel day before things are decided once and for all in Houston this weekend. The Astros took a 3-2 lead in the series with a 3-2 victory, putting Trey Mancini one win away from a championship ring. Mancini, despite going hitless again last night, played a key role in the win, spearing a Kyle Schwarber scorcher in the eighth that would have tied the game or given the Phillies the lead had it eluded him.
By Sunday at the latest, the Series will be over, a champion will be crowned, and it will officially be time to shift our focus to the Orioles’ offseason maneuvering.
