Realmuto celebrate their win against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 5 of the baseball NL Championship Series in Phoenix, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023. APwill play for their second straight trip to the World Series on Monday at 5:07 p.m. after the Texas Rangers forced a Game 7 against the Astros on Sunday night.
Texas won the game 9-2 though it wasn’t decided until late. Texas closer Jose Leclerc escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam with a 4-2 lead in the eighth inning and Adolis Garcia hit a grand slam in the ninth to put the game away. It was Garcia’s three-run homer that gave Texas a 4-2 lead in Game 5, but Jose Abreu’s three-run homer in the ninth inning send the Astros home to Houston with a chance to clinch.
However, the Rangers avoided elimination and became the sixth road team in six games to win in the series. Had the Astros clinched their second straight trip to the World Series on Sunday, the Phillies vs. Diamondbacks would have pushed back to 8:07 so Major League Baseball would have a prime-time game.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
