The Astros aren’t out of the World Series just yet.
Houston was on the brink of elimination after falling behind three games to one to the Braves with a game still left to play in Atlanta. It fell behind 4-0 after the first inning of Game 5 but then bounced all the way back to win 9-5 and bring the series back to Texas for Game 6 on Tuesday.
The Astros will turn to rookie Luis Garcia to try to push this series to a full seven games. Garcia allowed a run on three hits and four walks in 3 2/3 innings in Game 3, but in his previous postseason outing, he pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings against Boston in Game 6 of the ALCS to help clinch the pennant for Houston. This postseason, he has a 7.62 overall ERA.
GAME 5: Maldonado plays hero | Braves rest top relievers
Atlanta is handing the ball to Max Fried, who struggled in his Game 2 start. He allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings. Prior to that outing, however, he had pitched to a 3.78 ERA in three postseason starts.

8:57 p.m.: Rosario walks to move Albies up to second. Two aboard for Soler.
8:53 p.m.: Travis d’Arnaud and Dansby Swanson both fly out. Top of the order due back up with Albies on first, and two away.
8:47 p.m.: Ozzie Albies singled through the shift to leadoff the inning.
8:43 p.m. End of Second: Jose Siri flies out to left to end the inning.
8:42 p.m.: Not much space in right in foul territory, but Pederson makes the catch on the flyout from Bregman.
8:41 p.m.: Impressive play by Swanson as he bare-hands a grounder from Tucker and he makes the throw on the run for the first out.
8:36 p.m. End Top Second: It takes Garcia only 20 pitches to get through the first two innings as Joc Pederson ends the frame with a flyout to left.
8:35 p.m.: Adam Duvall hits a hard grounder down the third-base line, but Alex Bregman makes the throw to get him out.
