Two hard hit fly outs and a punchout and the Nats go quietly enough . . .

4-0 Astros after four full . . .

Diving catch by Robles takes an extra base hit away from Brantley . . . two more outs to follow on a spanking grounder to short and a check swing strikeout . . .

But still 4-0 Astros in the middle of the fifth . . .

I love what I'm seeing out of Jose Urquidy tonight. This kid throws five shutout innings and has a changeup that can drive you nuts at the plate. He turned a supposed-to-be-bullpen game into a whale of a quality start!

And, as the son of a cancer victim myself, I thought the Stand Up to Cancer moment after the fifth was just beautiful. If only something like that could actually slay the bastard.

Three and three for the Astros and Urquidy's night is over but what a performance he did put on tonight!

4-0 Astros, middle of the sixth, and Josh James coming in to pitch for the Astros . . .

The Nats load the ducks on the pond and get nothing but one run off a slow ground out to first.

Dave Martinez must love being second guessed.

He brings in a pitcher whom Michael Brantley kills and Brantley loads the pads with a base hit.

Then Alex Bregman hits a grand salami past the left field foul pole and blows the game wide open.

8-1 Astros, top of the seventh . . .

@Cyber Liberty

Historic note: In the 1986 World Series, the first four games were also won in the road ballpark. The Mets lost Games One and Two in Shea Stadium; the Red Sox lost Games Three and Four in Fenway Park. And the Mets went on to win the Series in seven.

Also, in the 1996 Series, the first five games were won on the road---the Braves, Games One and Two in Yankee Stadium; the Yankees, Games Three through Five in Fulton County Stadium. And the Yankees won Game Six and the Series in New York.

And right now the Nats have to be thinking Max the Knife won't be looking just to pitch them to a 3-2 lead, he'll be pitching to save their lives, period, in Game Five.

Meanwhile, the guy who should have been brought in to pitch to Brantley was brought in to pitch to Kyle Tucker with the bases loaded a second time . . . and struck his hide out swinging for the side.

Like I said, Dave Martinez all of a sudden seems to have a thirst for being second-guessed.

Yuli Gurriel dives to stop a smash up the first base line by Trea Turner with two on and two out and just does beat him to the pad for the side.

Astro fans must be tempted by now to channel their inner Chick Hearn: You can put this game in the refrigerator---the door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are getting cold, the butter's getting hard, and the Jelloooooooo's jiggling!

8-1 Astros after seven full . . .

Nats reliever Javy Guerra shakes away a one out hit and a two out hit in the top of the eighth . . . Brad Peacock dodges a throwing error and a walk in the bottom . . . and we go to the ninth with the Astros up 8-1 and three defensive outs from tying the Series at two games each!

And the World Series is even-up at two games each!!!

8-1 your final from Nationals Park, and the Astros get themselves a Cole-Scherzer re-match in Game Five tomorrow!

Another nice job, @EasyAce. It's so nice to see my guys playing like they have all year. Can't wait for them to come back home. I love when we win titles at home.  :yowsa:

I have followed your lead and changed my avi for this occasion.

Sorry I had to miss this game last night.  Looks like the Astros are indeed fired up, compared to the first two games.  Now it's the Nats who have to wake up and get back to playing like they did at the beginning of the series..

I have one of my own ready for when the Series goes back to Houston. (I've been sort of doing the when-in-Rome bit for the Series since becoming the cat mod . . . ) But yours is great!

@EasyAce

I'll be curious to see your new avi, but I can guarantee it won't be as great as mine because that's a pic of my baby girl (gone to be with the Lord now), and she was drop-dead gorgeous. It was a bit challenging to keep the "hat" on her head while we took the pic, hence the hand holding her still. But it just doesn't get any better than my sweet Zoey.

The last several night was just like watching the Diamondbacks play the past several years.  I think I'll not waste the time for the rest, I have important things to do, like boil water and rake the gravel lawn.
