The Houston Astros enjoyed an abbreviated celebration on the field as the visitors at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday night. No, the World Series wasn’t over, but there was history to recognize.
After a dominant six-inning outing from starter Cristian Javier, three Astros relievers combined to finish off the second no-hitter in World Series history in Game 4. Defeating the Phillies 5-0, Houston evened the series, 2-2, and regained home-field advantage for the series.
If Philadelphia doesn’t reset quickly, an even bigger celebration could be coming this weekend at Minute Maid Park. But the Phillies are confident they can put the memorable night behind them.
