took their positions and made a few warmup throws before the sixth inning Thursday night, Nick Castellanos squatted in right field, alone with his thoughts.
It was never going to be easy, vanquishing the 106-win Astros. The Phillies were the last NL team into the tournament, and although they are the last one standing a month later, they are regarded as the World Series underdog, except within the walls of their clubhouse. They haven’t gotten much luck, either. J.T. Realmuto was robbed of a certain extra-base hit in the ninth inning when Astros center fielder, made a running, leaping catch on the warning track, leaving Realmuto standing between first and second base with his hands on his helmet.
Then, in the ninth, after Harper got hit by a pitch, Castellanos worked the count full again before grounding to Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña to end the game. Peña had a big game, with an RBI single in the first inning, a leaping catch to take a hit from Castellanos in the third, and a solo homer in the fourth.
Maybe not. But in 47 previous World Series that were tied 2-2, the Game 5 winner went on to win 31 times .
