Late defense seals tight Game 5 victory
With the Astros holding a one-run lead in the ninth and Bryce Harper on deck, J.T. Realmuto drove a ball toward the wall in right-center field. Houston center fielder Chas McCormick sprinted to the fence for a catch he wasn't sure he would have a chance to make. "I thought he hit it out," McCormick said after the game. "But that time of the game, you just got to be focused on defense. ... I saw the wall, I saw the warning track, and it was just high enough for me to get in and reach out and go get it." |
