Atlanta Braves Defeat Houston Astros in Game Six for First World Series Win in 26 Years
The first shutout in a final World Series game since 2005.
Atlanta Braves have defeated Houston Astros to win their first World Series since 1995.
The Braves shut out the Astros 7-0 in Game 6 of the World Series, a first in MLB championships since 2005. Max Fried who struggled to start in Game 2 came out of the World Series with a winning pitch while Dansby Swanson and Freddie Freeman added impressive home runs to give Braves the edge. ESPN reported, “Fried went six innings, allowing four hits, allowing no runs or walks while striking out six.”
In Game 6, Freddie Freeman hit a homerun, helping Atlanta to secure their win in the World Series. Some have speculated that it could be his last home run. He has spent all 12 years of his career with the Braves. Tyler Matzek was able to come on to start the seventh inning while Joc Pederson and Will Smith closed out the Astros at the bottom of the ninth. Take a look at how the MLB community celebrated below.
