The Astros' Game 4 no-hitter puts them back in the driver's seat for the World Series championship, BNightengale writes.
If this were a different time, a different era, perhaps Javier would be permitted to stay in the game and a chance for history. Yet, he was at 97 pitches, and had never thrown more than 106 pitches in a game this season, and has already thrown more than 60 innings than at any time in his three-year career. Yep, the guy the Phillies never want to see again.
Teams who have taken a 3-1 lead in the World Series have won 84.8% of the time, winning 39 of 46, including 12 of the last 13 times. Now, it’ll be the Phillies under heavy pressure, hardly wanting to take their chances of going down 3-2 and having to win consecutive games on the road at Minute Maid Park.
