Marwin González cemented the Houston Astros 9-5, World Series Game 5 victory over the Atlanta Braves with an extraordinary pinch-hit effort. With the score tied, 5-5, in the top of the fifth inning, the 32-year-old switch hitter connected on a pitch, delivered from A.J. Minter, and punched it to left-field for a two-run single. The Astros would not look back after this moment and go on to force a Game 6.
