It’s not that the Astros can't still win this series down 2-1. But the direction of this team has to change quickly if they do.
There’s no way to sugarcoat it. Lance McCullers was terrible tonight. He gave up seven runs on five home runs in 4.1 innings pitched. The Phillies were sitting on curves, and tonight the McCullers breaking ball had no bite and found the middle of the plate..well...enough times to find the seats five times.
Although McCullers did strike out six, he only got nine swinging strikes in 78 pitches.
Sure, the Phillies are hot.
