- Houston Astros 9-5 Atlanta Braves: as it happened
- Teams head to Texas with Atlanta leading series 3-2
Marwin Gonzalez’s Game 5 hit was far softer than his drive in the World Series four years ago, but it had just as much impact. After missing the first two rounds of the postseason, he played a huge role in keeping the Houston Astros’ championship quest alive.
Gonzalez broke a fifth-inning tie with a two-run pinch-hit single into short left field, leading the comeback from a four-run deficit in a 9-5 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday night.
