The Phillies defeated the Astros 6-5 in Game 1 of the World Series. Houston was up 5-0 after three innings thanks to two Kyle Tucker homers. With Verlander on the mound, it looked like the Astros would cruise to victory. The Phillies had other ideas and immediately mounted a comeback. Strong bullpen work and a clutch homer from JT Realmuto put the Phillies on top.
