Today's UPDATES

Max Sports presents the Key Lines of the Day: Game 5, 13-12 Astros, 28 Combined Hits, 10 Innings, 5 Hours and 17 Minutes, 1 Winner, The Greatest World Series Game Ever? The bad news for me: I didn't go to Six Flags Freight Fest this weekend and it's too late now, but the good news is that I witnessed along with the rest of the Baseball World, three top notched games in the 2017 World Series. All three games were broadcasted from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas and it was all Houston Astros for Games 3 and 5, but last night the entire country was talking about Game 5 last night, a game that would determine the fate of both the Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was Clayton Kershaw vs Dallas Keuchel, but either one could put on a gem last night, Kershaw pitched 4  2/3 innings and allowed six runs on four hits and three walks, while Keuchel pitched only 3 2/3 innings for the Astros, allowing five hits and four runs. The Dodgers grabbed the lead early in the 1st innings by scoring 3 runs, the in the fourth inning when it was 4-0 Dodgers, the Astros got four runs in to tie game, three of them came from Yuli Gurriel's three run home. In the top of the fifth inning things got a little crazy, Cody Bellinger hit a three-run home run to put the Dodgers back on top only for José Altuve hit his own three-run home run in the bottom of the inning ti tie the game once again. The Astros then got five runs in the seventh and eighth innings to take the lead while the Dodgers got only two, soon it all game down to the 9th inning and this one left everyone, including me, speechless, the Dodgers scored 3 runs to tie it at 12, forcing the game to got to a tenth inning where Alex Bergman got a walk-off base hit to end the game 13-13 Astros. We're going to talk about this game all on this post, but first, here are the game results from this past weekend, some of which are boring.

Today's #TwitterTrend involves the World Series and it most gut wrenching game rom last night. Some people have called it an epic back-and-forth confrontation, some people are like "Wow! What A Game!", and that "it was two heavyweights in a slugfest", but the Astros prevailed in extra innings to win a pivotal Game 5. Clayton Kershaw started Game 5 off strong but was pulled after struggling in the fourth inning, we was replaced by Kenta Maeda who really messed things up for the Dodgers badly. There have been a lot of tweets about last night's game, it just a shame that we I can show you all of them at one time, so for now I'll take you all back to tweets which showcase some of the highlights of came and you can tell by these tweets that it was a good game last night.

Best game ever? @astros come out victorious in all-time slugfest, move within one win of #WorldSeries title.

Tracy Ringolsby @TracyRingolsby
So much made about Kershaw struggles in post-season.
Guess what. He is 6-2 in last three post-seasons.

Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN
Great at-bats for the Dodgers hitters so far in this game. Staying patient.

Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr
3 run inning for #Dodgers plus 32 pitches for Keuchel. Does not bode well for #Astros desire to stay out of their bullpen as long as possible

Jayson Stark @jaysonst
First 6 outs: 
Dallas Keuchel 45 pitches 
Clayton Kershaw 24 pitches

Marcos Breton @MarcosBreton
It had to be Gurriel. #WorldSeries

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan
Clayton Kershaw has blown a 4-0 lead in a World Series game. No narrative necessary here. That just hurts.

Amy Lawrence @ALawRadio
Like a wild roller coaster ride, this #WorldSeries with all its heart-pounding momentum swings! #Dodgers #Astros

Wesley Wright @realweswright
Jose Altuve is the Steph Curry of baseball, he literally changing the way people will scout and evaluate players going forward.

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan
George Springer went for the hero play on Cody Bellinger. It was not heroic. Ball rolls and rolls and Dodgers retake the lead, 8-7.

Brian McTaggart @brianmctaggart
The Astros just hit their third game-tying HR. Wow.

Greg Bailey @GregBailey13
MVP brings bedlam to MMP. Amazing. #Astros

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale
