Justin Verlander gutted out his first WorldSeries win to put the Astros one win away from a championship. Here are emmabaccellieri’s three takeaways from Game 5

It began with giving up a home run. But for the first time in his career, Justin Verlander walked off the mound in the World Series while his team had a lead.
That’s a credit to the Astros. Their pitching staff—particularly their bullpen—is tremendous. But the Phillies are built on offense, and if they don’t want their season to end on Saturday, they need to find a way to do that.
