When talking about the Astros pitching, how can one not talk about Cristian Javier, who led the attack from the mound and helped the Astros toss a combined no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies? Not to forget that this was only the second no-hitter game in World Series history.
Houston Astros fans rejoice after a historic win over the Philadelphia Phillies
Even though the Phillies are playing in their own backyard and won the last game; no team can take the Houston Astros for granted. Given the Dusty Baker-led team has probably the best pitching unit and one of the best batting orders, the Astros comeback was always on the cards.

With this win over the Phillies, one thing also got confirmed: this series will not get over in Philly. Because even if the Phillies or Astros win Game 5, the Fall Classic winner will be decided only when a team wins four games.
When talking about Fame 4, MLB fans had mixed reactions to the Astros victory. Several fans appreciated the Astros for a wonderful pitching display, while a few still criticized the Astros for their 2017 scandal.
The Philadelphia PhiLLies were unable to record a hit for the entire game. It is the 2nd time a no-hitter has occurred in the World Series EVER.
