Peacock with three dominant innings to finish the game and get the win. Astros come from behind twice.

Team remains sans relent.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing the radio call for the final out of the WS. Unlike, say, the new Blue Bell jingle.

A little Keystone Cops in the field though.

Keuchel really labored. Stassi, Davis, Fisher and Marisnick all started (and struck out a combined 7 times). Fisher’s walk and two-out stolen base in the 7th set Bregman up for the heroics. Peacock was dominant, and the Baltimore bullpen looks a shit-show.

Brad Peacock, most valuable Astro.

Observation:

Perhaps I'm making too much of nothing, but Altuve's backhanded toss to 2B on the double play concerns me.  He's done it a couple of times when I thought he was too far from the bag.  One resulted in a double play because of Correa's strong arm, and the other maybe led to Marwin's TE6 today.

Maybe, but I'm more concerned by Bregman's rather scattershot throws. Maybe he just needs some games to get in the groove.

I'll bet you once he gets the bat going this will cease to be an issue.

I am with you on this. I would now allow my 2B to make a backhanded flip.
