With both of those matchups complete, let’s take a look back at MLB Game 7 history and break down what happens when a playoff series reaches that all-important game. Here are all the Game 7 facts, figures and highlights you need to know.< https://electroblevy.com/ryan-ashley-malarkey-reacts-to-controversial-ink-master-victory-on-instagram/ /p>
• A total of 21 pitchers have gone the distance with complete-game efforts in a winner-take-all Game 7. Gibson is the only pitcher with multiple complete Game 7 efforts, having done so three times to end the 1964, ’67 and ’68 World Series. Thirteen pitchers have thrown a Game 7 shutout, but no one has done so since Jack Morris’ legendary 10-inning scoreless start in the Twins’ 1-0 win over the Braves to clinch the 1991 World Series.
A home run by Yuli Gurriel in the bottom of the second inning gave the Astros an early 1–0 lead. Carlos Correa hit a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the fifth inning to extend the lead to 2–0. Scherzer pitched five innings, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out three batters. Greinke had given up only one hit (a single) and had shut out the Nats over six innings before Anthony Rendon’s home run in the top of the seventh cut the Astros’ lead to 2–1. Greinke walked Soto after Rendon’s homer and was then replaced by Will Harris. Harris gave up a two-run home run to Howie Kendrick off the right field foul pole, giving the Nationals a 3–2 lead, which they never relinquished. Greinke was charged with two runs on two hits while striking out three in 6+1⁄3 innings. Roberto Osuna pitched the eighth inning for Houston, when Juan Soto batted in Adam Eaton with two outs to give Washington a two-run lead. The Nationals extended their lead to 6–2 in the ninth inning, with two runs scoring on a one-out single by Eaton with the bases loaded. With Patrick Corbin having pitched three scoreless innings in relief for Washington, closer Daniel Hudson came in to pitch in a non-save situation in the bottom of the ninth and retired the side in order, as Michael Brantley struck out swinging to end the game, series, and baseball season, giving the Nationals franchise its first World Series title in 51 seasons, and the city’s first since the Senators won in 1924.
World series game 5
1950: Yankees over PhilliesJoe DiMaggio socked a go-ahead solo homer to lead off the top of the 10th inning of Game 2, giving the Yankees a 2-0 lead as they returned to New York. The Yanks held serve at home to sweep Philadelphia and win the Fall Classic.
After Stanton’s sixth-inning sacrifice fly put the Yankees back ahead 6-5, the Dodgers loaded the bases against losing pitcher Tommy Kahnle in the eighth before the sacrifice flies off Luke Weaver. Judge doubled off winner Blake Treinen with one out in the bottom half and Chisholm walked. Manager Dave Roberts walked to the mound with Treinen at 37 pitches.
• Buehler became the eighth pitcher with a win as a starter and a save in the same postseason series since saves were official in 1969. He joined Ranger Suárez in the 2022 NLCS, Clayton Kershaw in the 2016 NLDS, Madison Bumgarner in the 2014 World Series, Kevin Millwood in the 1999 NLDS, Orel Hershiser in the 1988 NLCS, Catfish Hunter in the 1974 World Series and Jack Billingham in the 1972 World Series.

When the game 3 of the world series
• Along with Will Smith’s in the fifth, this was the fifth World Series game with homers from multiple catchers. The others were 2019 Game 2 (Kurt Suzuki, Martín Maldonado), 1977 Game 5 (Steve Yeager, Thurman Munson), 1975 Game 3 (Carlton Fisk, Johnny Bench) and 1948 Game 5 (Jim Hegan, Bill Salkeld).
The Los Angeles Dodgers won their eighth World Series title in franchise history and first since 2020 on Wednesday night, coming back from a five-run deficit to complete a Hollywood ending to their season.
Through two games against the Dodgers, Judge is 1-for-9 with six strikeouts. For the postseason as a whole, he’s 6-for-40 with 19 strikeouts. It’s a far cry from a regular season in which Judge’s 58 homers, 144 RBIs and 1.159 OPS made for one of the best performances by a right-handed hitter in history.
