The Houston Astros used a change in their lineup Sunday to alter their perspective and then rallied from a four-run deficit to extend the 2021 World Series.
Marwin Gonzalez hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the fifth inning and Martin Maldonado drove in three runs as the Astros earned a 9-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 5 in Atlanta to cut the Braves' lead in the World Series to 3-2.
Facing elimination and trailing early after a first-inning grand slam from the Braves' Adam Duvall, the Astros' offense roared to life after a pair of lackluster games in Atlanta left them in a 3-1 hole in The Fall Classic.
