Thanks to Kyle Tucker’s home runs, the Houston Astros got off to a fast start against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. Gurriel ended Eovaldi’s night when he hit the fifth and final homer of the inning to center. Tucker then connected on an Eovaldi fastball and drilled his sixth homer of the season over the right field fence. It was a particularly special night for Peña, a rookie who grew up in Rhode Island and played at Maine.

Abreu, who had contributed to the combined no-no in Game 4, recovered to retire Schwarber on an inning-ending groundout. Baker’s inability to communicate — or at least craft a public explanation to appease Alvarez — is a misstep, especially for a man with a reputation as a players’ manager. Calling it anything more egregious is disingenuous, but it did invite more speculation about the actual state of Alvarez’s hands.

SF Giants add Correa: Why he’s hated by Dodgers…

Jack Vita is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation, and host of the Jack Vita Show, a popular sports podcast available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever podcasts are found. The home run was not nearly the only one of the night for Houston, and was not the first for Alvarez either, who had two. His first home run went farther at 429-feet compared to the second, memorialized homer at 415-feet, but what was notable about the second was the location, not the distance. The Astros clocked an impressive six home runs in their 15-0 domination over the A's. The Astros wasted no time honoring Alvarez's home run, and covered the seat located in the first row of section 337 in orange on Tuesday.

According to MLB.com, since 1974 when inning-by-inning data started, no Red Sox pitcher had given up more than three homers in an inning. Houston responded by hitting five home runs off him as part of a nine-run second to tie the MLB record for most homers in an inning, ending his night on its way to routing Boston 13-4. BOSTON — Red Sox starter Nathan Eolvaldi needed just five pitches to get the Astros out in order in the first inning Tuesday night. A night earlier, the Astros had tied this World Series with history.

Houston Astros Jeremy Peña celebrates with Alex Bregman after hitting a home run against Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Adrian Martinez during the fifth inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Friday, Sept. 16, 2022 in Houston. Houston Astros Yordan Alvarez hits a home run against Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Adrian Martinez during the first inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Friday, Sept. 16, 2022 in Houston.

He allowed three hits, a walk, and struck out four batters, and that was all the Phillies needed. Tucker added his second homer of the night and seventh of the season in the fourth inning – a grand slam off Tyler Danish — as Houston won for the 13th time in 15 games. Each of Alvarez’s three home runs traveled at least 431 feet. According to ESPN Stats and Info, he is the first player to hit three home runs of at least 430 feet since Nelson Cruz on July 25, 2019.

The Astros wasted no time commemorating Alvarez's home run

While this ALDS will go down as a sweep, this series will unquestionably serve as the jumping-off point for what should be a tremendous rivalry moving forward. At no point during any of the 36 innings played across three games did one team feel in control. The Astros were clearly the better team, and they prevailed because of it, but how these three games unfolded demonstrated the incredible potential of future Mariners/Astros showdowns. Instead, rookie Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña decided he'd had enough baseball for the day — or night — by the time he strolled to the plate in the top of the 18th.

The Mariners put up a great fight, leading both game one and game two, and taking the Astros to 18 innings Saturday, but their efforts were not enough to knock off the American League West champions and winners of 106 games, the Houston Astros. In the Phillies’ last home game, Bryce Harper hit a two-run home run to send them to the World Series. On Tuesday, Harper got the scoring started with a two-run shot in the first inning, putting Citizens Bank Park on its feet.

Astros Red Sox Baseball

Alvarez hit a 404-foot homer to right in the eighth, and McCormick hit a three-run shot later in the inning. Houston’s signing of the ex-AL MVP Abreu earlier this offseason fills the power void left behind by Yuli Gurriel . But Houston just lost one catcher to retirement, and another will turn 37 next season. Varsho could help behind the plate or in the outfield . That is, of course, if Houston can stomach the cost of a defensively-versatile power hitter still under club control through 2026.

Verlander entered with an unsightly 0-6 record and a 6.07 ERA in Fall Classic play -- the worst performance for any starting pitcher with as much experience as Verlander has on this stage. Half-filled champagne flutes sat strewn on a table a few feet away from Dubón’s locker. The team commemorated its sixth consecutive postseason appearance with a small toast and some brief speeches.

More From SI's Inside The Phillies:

The 26-year-old Varsho is an intriguing player because of his defensive versatility, as he can split time between the outfield and catcher. However, for teams pursuing the catcher/outfielder, the Diamondbacks have reportedly set a high asking price as he is entering his prime and is under team control until 2026. After Christian Vazquez inked a new deal with the Minnesota Twins, the Houston Astros have been heavily linked to Daulton Varsho of the Arizona Diamondbacks. While the Diamondbacks are in the middle of a rebuild, they are loaded with left-handed hitting outfielders and are reportedly looking to move one or two to address other holes in their roster.

Perhaps it will be Peña eyeing a massive nine-figure deal at some point later in the 2020s. Correa's 140 OPS+ led all shortstops last season, and since 2021, just three players have generated more Wins Above Replacement, per Baseball Reference. Correa is a premier two-way player still in his prime. It's no mystery as to why he was so coveted by San Francisco. Perhaps the sheer length of Correa's deal is surprising, though it was assumed he would earn the largest non-Judge contract during this free-agency cycle. Correa entered the offseason as the the youngest of the four marquee free-agent shortstops available—of which only Dansby Swanson remains–and his advanced stats are among the league's best.

The following batter, Rhys Hoskins decided six runs wasn't enough, and tacked on another run with a big fly of his own. It was now 7-0, and McCullers became the first pitcher to ever allow five home runs in a World Series game. Two batters later, Brandon Marsh hit his second home run of the postseason, another solo blast, but this time to right field.

The replay itself doesn’t necessarily do the moment justice. Alvarez pimped his home run off Ray — as he should, sorry baseball purists — and made his way around the bases like a badddd man. Mariners manager Scott Servais took a risk by putting starter Robbie Ray in for the final out, and it did not fare well.

Player

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander in the dugout during the fourth inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Friday, Sept. 16, 2022 in Houston. After 17 scoreless innings, Houston Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena broke the tie, hitting a game-winning and series-clinching solo home run to put the Astros back in the American League Championship Series for the sixth straight year. The Astros completed the sweep of their American League West division rival, the Seattle Mariners, and the Mariners are eliminated from playoff contention. Servais turned to lefty starter Robbie Ray -- who allowed four runs in three innings against the Blue Jays on Saturday in Toronto -- as the manager hoped for a favorable left-on-left matchup.

Contrary to the unmistakable mastery displayed by Cristian Javier and his buddies in the bullpen in the first combined no-hitter in World Series history a night earlier, this win did not come easily or breezily for Verlander and the Astros. But it came -- and established a 3-2 edge that 31 of 47 (65.9%) previous Game 5 winners have converted into a title -- because for every jam there was a lam, for every obstacle there was, literally, an out. Following the lead of Justin Verlander, who was shaky yet successful in five effective innings to finally get his first Fall Classic victory in nine attempts, the Astros’ pitching staff bent but never broke. According to Baseball Savant, only one of Alvarez’s 97 career home runs is longer — the 469-foot missile he struck against A’s starter Paul Blackburn on May 30.

Astros hit season-high 5 HRs in rout of Halos

The Angels couldn’t even argue that point after watching the Astros set a season high by clubbing five home runs to overcome an injury-abbreviated start from José Urquidy and take the series finale, 9-1, on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park. Devers put Boston in front 1-0 when he jumped on Urquidy’s 95 mph fastball and drove it over the center field wall for his seventh homer of the season. Eovaldi (1-2) became the third pitcher in major league history to surrender five homers in an inning, joining Chase Anderson (Sept. 17, 2020 vs Yankees) and Michael Blazek (July 28, 2017 vs. Nationals). José Urquidy (3-1) allowed 12 hits and four runs, including homers to Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez, but lasted five innings to record the victory.

The Phillies used the long ball to earn a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros and take a two games to one lead in the World Series. The Astros pitcher plunked Crawford in the back on a 3-1 pitch after giving up Dylan Moore’s grand slam that helped the Mariners rally to an 11-8 comeback win. Raley appealed the suspension Friday, when he was also fined for intentionally throwing at and hitting Seattle’s J.P. Crawford. Kendall Graveman struck out three over 1 1/3 innings in his Astros debut. He entered in the seventh for his first outing since Houston acquired him Tuesday from the Mariners.

Alvarez saw nine pitches, took four swings and hit three home runs in his first three at-bats against Oakland A’s starter Adrián Martinez. No Astro had ever struck three home runs against the same pitcher in the same game. Only 11 men in franchise history have ever hit three in one game.

It marked Altuve's sixth career slam and third this season. His third multi-homer game of 2021 was the seventh of his career. Correa was one of the Astros’ biggest stars during their 2017 World Series season, which has since been marred by the sign-stealing scandal that saw GM Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch fired, but no sanctions against the players themselves.

Blasts from Altuve, Gurriel, Tucker, Alvarez and McCormick total 1,942 feet

Alvarez made the Mariners pay for that mistake big time. While several names have been floated in potential deals for Daulton Varsho, players such as Luis Garcia, Cristian Javier, and top prospect Hunter Brown have continually been mentioned as part of the deal. If the Astros are unwilling to part with Brown, Javier may most likely be headed to Arizona. Tucker struck again in the third inning, this time doing more damage against Nola and the Phillies with a three-run home run on a full count to push the Houston lead to 5-0.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander reacts after striking out Oakland Athletics Ramon Laureano during the fourth inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Friday, Sept. 16, 2022 in Houston.

Half-filled champagne flutes sat strewn on a table a few feet away from Dubón’s locker. The team commemorated its sixth consecutive postseason appearance with a small toast and some brief speeches.

The baseball landed atop the Budweiser bar between the batter’s eye and Houston’s bullpen, making Alvarez’s hustle a moot point. The blast offered more hope for an awakening after Alvarez’s abysmal August. He slugged .312 and struck four extra-base hits in 92 plate appearances. He posted a 50 percent ground ball rate — more than 12 points above his career average. The day Yordan Alvarez awed the Astros began with no pregame batting practice.

Tuesday's signing marks the end of a contractual odyssey for Correa. He turned down a five-year, $160 million deal from Houston following the 2021 World Series, eyeing a deal that would near $300 million. No such market developed for Correa last offseason, and he then signed a three-year, $153 million contract with Minnesota that included opt-outs after each year.

The Philadelphia Phillies took a 2-1 lead in the World Series over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. It’s a best-of-5 series, so by no means has Houston punched their ticket to the ALCS just yet, but a demoralizing defeat like this one is tough to get over. Seattle NEEDS to win at least one game in Houston to advance, and they just let one slip right through their fingers. In theory, Servais putting in one of his best pitchers to face Alvarez makes sense, until you consider the role and the moment.

In the 12th century, Hessengau passed to the Landgraviate of Thuringia. From that point on the Ludovingian coat of arms came to represent both Thuringia and Hesse. Hessia, from the early 7th century on, served as a buffer between areas dominated by the Saxons and the Franks, who brought the area to the south under their control in the early sixth century and occupied Thuringia in 531. Hessia occupies the northwestern part of the modern German state of Hesse; its borders were not clearly delineated. Its geographic center is Fritzlar; it extends in the southeast to Hersfeld on the river Fulda, in the north to past Kassel and up to the rivers Diemel and Weser.
