The Braves, seeking their first championship in more than a quarter-century, opened the scoring in explosive fashion on Adam Duvall's first-inning Grand Slam. On the evening the Astros tallied a dozen hits, earning a 9-5 victory that, for the time being, extends their season. Shortstop Carlos Correa, bumped up to third in the batting order, came through with three hits and a pair of RBI, while first baseman Yuli Gurriel, who moved up to fifth after hitting seventh in Game 4, had 3 hits of his own and scored two runs. The result? Nine Astros runs, a critical Game 5 win, and a series that now heads back to Texas. With his team facing elimination, and that elusive first World Series championship once again seeming to slip away, Houston's veteran manager Dusty Baker revamped his batting order. Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel of the Houston Astros celebrate the team's 9-5 win against the Atlanta Braves in Game 5 of the World Series on October 31 in Atlanta.
