A series that’s featured huge home runs, incredible defense and one combined no-hitter could all come to an end Saturday night.
The Philadelphia Phillies travel to Texas to take on the Houston Astros in Game 6 of the 2022 World Series, on the heels of a Game 5 where Houston eked out a 3-2 win. The Astros will be without first basemen Yuli Gurriel for the remainder of the series after he suffered a knee injury during a rundown in the seventh inning of Thursday’s matchup. How much will Houston feel Gurriel’s absence tonight?
Here are the best moments from what could be the final game of the 2022 World Series.
