pic.twitter.com/98tb8eKE6F. In Game 7, the Nationals trailed by a 2-0 margin into the seventh inning, when Anthony Rendon hit a solo home run off Zack Greinke to cut the lead to one.

To put it into context, my father was born one year after we won the last World Series. Hinch had seen enough, pulling a starter who had looked absolutely unhittable just two batters earlier and was still at just 80 pitches.

He ran the count full against Anthony Rendon but struck out the Nationals’ cleanup hitter with a well-placed, 89-mile-per-hour fastball. Ted Lerner, the 94-year-old owner who was in attendance Wednesday, spearheaded a group to buy the team in 2006. “It’s a decision I’ll have to live with,” Hinch said. In the bottom half of the inning, Washington’s four-run lead was put in the hands of Daniel Hudson, who had to face the top of the Astros’ batting order. As Osuna worked on Rendon, Eaton stole second, and Rendon eventually got under a pitch and flied out to center. They also relied on key position players like Anthony Rendon, the Houston native who opened the Nationals’ scoring with his seventh-inning home run off an otherwise exceptional Zack Greinke; Juan Soto, who turned 21 on Friday and hit three home runs during the Series; and 36-year-old Howie Kendrick, whose two-run homer off Will Harris in the seventh inning wiped away a 2-1 Houston advantage and gave the Nationals the lead for good. James Wagner and Tyler Kepner contributed reporting. George Springer drew a four-pitch walk to put a second man on base, but Jose Altuve flied out to center to end the inning. The Nationals tacked on three more runs in the eighth and ninth to gain a comfortable lead, and with the final out, they joined the other successful baseball clubs from Washington from the distant past — including the old Senators and the Homestead Grays, the Negro League powerhouse that played many of its games in Washington’s old Griffith Stadium.

After the marathon of the 162 game regular season it all comes down to one game to see who will be crowned World Series champions. But does playing at home even matter?

Hinch, the Astros manager. The Game 7 matchup is just as intriguing as Game 6 was, between Strasburg and Justin Verlander. though they have modernized their approach in recent years, 8th Inning: Soto Drives in Another Nats Run, 7th Inning: Kendrick’s Blast Gives Nats the Lead, 6th Inning: Nats Go to Bullpen; Greinke Cruising, 4th Inning: Greinke Provides Some Defense, Too, 3rd Inning: Greinke Burning Through Nats’ Lineup, 1st Inning: Scherzer and Greinke Off to Good Starts, mostly uninspiring World Series turned on its head Tuesday, was scratched because of spasms in his upper back and neck.

Despite having flirted with disaster in the previous two innings, Max Scherzer was back out for the fourth. Scherzer is one pitch short of having thrown twice as many as Greinke. On Tuesday afternoon, Scherzer threw in the outfield before the game and proclaimed himself ready to go for Game 7. Jose Altuve struck out with a huge cut on a 95-mile-per-hour fastball, and Hudson clinched the Nationals’ first World Series title, by striking out Michael Brantley.

We'd be remiss if we didn't note that both teams laid down questionable bunts. CBS Sports is a registered trademark of CBS Broadcasting Inc. Commissioner.com is a registered trademark of CBS Interactive Inc. site: media | arena: mlb | pageType: stories | HOUSTON — During the worst part of the Washington Nationals’ season, when they were playing terrible baseball and had lost 31 of their first 50 games amid speculation that the manager would be fired and several players traded, the team held a meeting in the coaches’ conference room at Nationals Park. It is the first time in World Series history that the visiting team has won each of the first six games. Bregman apologized to the Nationals players and again publicly for what he did. Alex Bregman homered in the first inning and carried his bat all the way to first base, a serious no-no in baseball etiquette. Cole warmed, numerous times, but never was inserted into the game. Zach Montague contributed reporting from Washington. Stephen Strasburg was named the Most Valuable Player of the series. Washington challenged a play at third, where Alvarez appeared to briefly pop off the bag, but the safe call on the field was confirmed. He also said of Soto’s copycat job, “I deserved it.” With that, the matter seemed to be settled. George Springer hit a sky-high pop-up to second for the first out.

We’re really proud that we’re the oldest team in baseball that just won the World Series. “I mean, we can’t explain it. Scherzer then got out of yet another jam when Yordan Alvarez drove a ball to deep center field that found its way into Victor Robles’s glove. “There’s a bunch of guys over 30 years old,” said the 33-year-old reliever Sean Doolittle. After all, these are the games that make baseball legends.

The Nationals filled the void when they left Montreal, changed their name from the Expos, and moved into R.F.K. Juan Soto after striking out in the fifth inning. You need young, athletic, controllable talent. Patrick Corbin, a starting pitcher who was acquired in the off-season via free agency, was thrust into a relief role and threw three scoreless innings before Nationals Manager Dave Martinez handed the ball to Daniel Hudson for the final three outs. Presumably, based on the short leash for Harris and Osuna's early entrance, the Astros had designs on deploying Cole in the eighth or ninth inning. This team, which has no direct lineage to that Senators franchise, did it with stars like Stephen Strasburg, who was named the most valuable player of the Series for his wins in Game 2 and Game 6, and Max Scherzer, the Game 7 starter who could not lift his arm on Sunday because of back and neck spasms but recovered to produce a gutsy performance on Wednesday. None of the players, coaches or managers (or reporters) have any clear reasons for it, other than pure fluke. The Nationals' victories in Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 -- and the Astros' wins in Games 3 through 5 -- mean that the road team won every single contest in the World Series for the first time ever.

But he was left there when Ryan Zimmerman popped out to first to end the inning.

Later, in the eighth, the Nationals would score an insurance run on a Soto single off Roberto Osuna, and then two more on an Adam Eaton single-plus-error in the ninth. In the bottom half of the inning, Scherzer was not quite as sharp, but he still held the Astros scoreless. “There were generations of baseball fans who grew up in D.C. without a team,” said Mark Lerner, the son of Ted Lerner and the Nationals’ principal owner. He warmed up in the Nationals’ bullpen during the game, and if Anthony Rendon had not hit a two-run homer in the seventh to extend Washington’s lead to 5-2, Scherzer may have gone into the game for the bottom of that inning. He recorded another perfect inning, getting Yan Gomes to fly out to center and Victor Robles to ground out to first before striking out Trea Turner looking to end the inning.

He gutted through five innings, permitting seven hits and walking four while avoiding the big blow. As it turned out, he was even ready to go by Game 6.

CLUTCH!!! Tonight will feature Max Scherzer for the Nationals against Zack Greinke of the Astros. 6-keys: media/spln/mlb/reg/free/stories, at

Zack Greinke pitching during the fourth inning. Greinke's performance was, too, high quality. He looked good. Hudson completed the Nationals’ remarkable story line when he struck out Michael Brantley for the final out.

A 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros in Game 7 … “Howie never forgot that. Meanwhile, Houston-born third baseman Anthony Rendon excelled against his home town side, driving in five runs.

Juan Soto drew a walk, and Manager A.J. Kendrick was the first batter Will Harris faced, and the M.V.P. Yuli Gurriel nearly hit into a double play, just beating Cabrera’s throw to first. Greinke needed just eight pitches to cruise through a 1-2-3 inning. The Astros, by the way, had won nearly three-fourths of their home games during the regular season, making the Nationals' dominance in Houston all the more impressive.

Doolittle called the victory the ultimate team win, typical of what the Nationals did all season when they were at their best.

With one more comeback win, at the end of a comeback season for the ages, the Nationals were World Series champions. Last updated on 30 October 201930 October 2019.From the section Baseball. Hinch replaced him with Roberto Osuna, who walked Ryan Zimmerman, got Yan Gomes to pop out to second, and escaped the inning when Victor Robles flied out to right. Check out the BBC Sport Live Guide for details of all the forthcoming live sport on the BBC.

What, then, explains this anomaly? Ditto for Asdrubal Cabrera's bunt in the fifth inning that advanced a baserunner in exchange for the second out of the frame. Just like that, the Nationals went from trailing by two to up by one.
