The Houston Astros rallied from a 4-0 deficit in Game 5 of the 2017 World Series to outlast the Los Angeles Dodgers 13-12 in the bottom of the 10th inning with an RBI single by third baseman Alex Bregman on Sunday, October 29, 2017, at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, taking a 3-2 series lead.
Game 5 will certainly be known as one of the best World Series game as both teams got into a hitting slugfest with a total of 25 runs scored, seven Homeruns, and 28 hits during 10 innings of play that lasted five hours and 17 minutes, second longest World Series game.
The Houston Astros are only one game away from clinching their first World Series Championship as the series returns to Los Angeles, California for Game Six on Tuesday, October 31st, and Game 7, if necessary, on Wednesday, November 1st.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will seek to win Game 6 in order to force a winner take all Game 7, but the Houston Astros will attempt to win the 2017 World Series on Tuesday, October 31st, as they send ace pitcher Justin Verlander to the mound against Dodgers southpaw pitcher Rich Hill.
Game Six on Tuesday, October 31st, promises to be a highly competitive and entertaining World Series game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Who will win Game Six? Will the Astros close the 2017 World Series and win their first World Series in Game 6? Will the Dodgers bounce back at home and force a decisive Game seven?
