With a 7-0 win against the Houston Astros, the Atlanta Braves took the World Series on Tuesday in a remarkable turnaround from a middling performance through midsummer to the championship in November.

By taking six games to dispatch the Astros, the Braves just missed becoming the first Major League Baseball team to win eight consecutive postseason games at home; the team lost Sunday night at Truist Park after leading 4-0 in the first inning. The teams headed back to Houston’s Minute Maid Park with Atlanta leading the series 3-2.

This time there was no come back from Houston. It was all Braves’ bats from the third inning through the seventh. In the third, right fielder Jorge Soler hit a three-run homer.

Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Then Braves’ first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a ball to deep left field and Soler, who was on-base, scored for a 6-0 Atlanta lead. Freeman returned for a solo homer into left field to put the Braves ahead 7-0.

Atlanta took advantage of pitching fatigue that was anticipated for both teams, but Houston didn’t seem to have the same answer at-bat. Braves pitcher Max Fried lasted six innings and gave up 4 hits and no runs.

It’s Atlanta’s first World Series title in 26 years.
