After splitting a pair of riveting games in Houston, the Philadelphia Phillies return home to Citizens Bank Park to host the Houston Astros tonight, continuing the 2022 World Series with Game 3. One can only hope we get a replica of Game 1, the see-saw tussle that saw a 5-run Astro lead created and dusted, with Philadelphia the surging victors.
(Game 2 wasn’t bad, per se, it was just no Game 1. Give me all the drama you can, World Series!)
Tonight’s starters will be Noah Syndergaard for Philadelphia opposite Lance McCullers, Jr. of Houston, a pair of hurlers still looking to regain their finest forms after arm injuries altered the course of their respective careers.
