On Tuesday night, October 22nd, the Washington Nationals defeated the Houston Astros 5-4 in Game 1 of the 2019 World Series.Justin Verlander and Stephen Strasburg are the probable pitchers. The Nationals now hold a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series heading into Game 2 on Wednesday, which will also take place at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

The game could have gone either way, however there are a few reasons the Astros let game 1 slip through their fingertips. Firstly, Cole wasn’t as dominant as he had been in his first three postseason starts, and Houston definitely failed to cash in its opportunities. Cole had allowed just one run in his first 22 postseason innings.

The Nationals definitely owe their victory to Juan Soto. The 20-year-old phenomenon recorded three hits and drove in three of Washington’s five runs. Davey Martinez then turned to a combination of Patrick Corbin, Tanner Rainey, Daniel Hudson, and Sean Doolittle to close down the Astros’ operations.

Game 2 is slated to start tonight, October 23rd at 5:07 PM local time.
