The 2022 World Series is the ongoing championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2022 season. The 118th edition of the World Series, it is a best-of-seven playoff that is being played between the American League (AL) champion Houston Astros and the National League (NL) champion Philadelphia Phillies. The series began on October 28 and will run until November 6, if all seven games are necessary, and will be broadcast in the United States on Fox television and ESPN Radio.[1] The Astros, holding the better regular season record, have home field advantage and hosted Games 1 and 2, and, if necessary, will host Games 6 and 7.

For the sixth straight year, MLB sold presenting sponsorships to all of the postseason series. As a result of a new multi-year agreement with Capital One, this World Series is officially known as the 2022 World Series presented by Capital One.[2]

Background

This is the second postseason meeting between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies following their 1980 National League Championship Series[a] encounter, which was won by Philadelphia, 3–2, en route to winning the 1980 World Series.[3]

Houston and Philadelphia met in the last series of the 2022 MLB season in Houston. Houston won two of the three games, although Philadelphia clinched their postseason berth in the first game with a win.[4] The 19-game gap between the Astros and Phillies is the second largest in World Series history, trailing only the 23-game gap in 1906 between the 93-win Chicago White Sox and the 116-win Chicago Cubs.[5] No black players born in the United States are expected to play for either team during the World Series, which would mark the first time since 1950, shortly after the breaking of the baseball color line in 1947, that this occurred.[6]

For the first time since 1947, no World Series game was originally scheduled to be played on a Sunday, as MLB preferred not to compete with the National Football League on that day.[7] However, a postponement of Game 3 due to rain forced it and the remainder of the series to be pushed back one day, meaning Game 7 (if necessary) would take place on Sunday, November 6.[8]

Houston Astros

This is the fifth World Series appearance for the Astros, and the fourth[a] as the American League team.[9] The Astros qualified for the 2022 postseason as the American League (AL) West division winner.[10] It was their fifth AL West championship in six years and their second straight divisional championship. The Astros entered the postseason as the top seed in the American League. In the Division Series, they swept the fifth-seeded Seattle Mariners. In the American League Championship Series, they swept the second-seeded New York Yankees to make it to the World Series for the fourth time in the previous six seasons (2017, 2019, 2021) and the second consecutive season.[11]

The season saw Houston's pitching staff lead the American League in fewest runs allowed, opponent's batting average, strikeouts, walks plus hits per inning pitched, and posted an MLB-best 2.78 bullpen ERA.[12] Justin Verlander, who had missed Houston's postseason runs in 2020 and 2021, made his return from Tommy John surgery and led the AL in wins, earned run average, and walks plus hits per inning pitched ratio.[13] Rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña won the League Championship Series Most Valuable Player Award after batting 6-for-18 (.333) with two home runs and two doubles in the ALCS.[14]

Dusty Baker is seeking his first World Series win as a manager in his 25th season. At 73 years of age, Baker is the oldest manager in World Series history.[15]

Philadelphia Phillies

This is the eighth World Series appearance for the Phillies and the first since 2009.[16] The Phillies struggled at the start of the 2022 season. On June 3, and at a record of 22–29 (.431), manager Joe Girardi was dismissed from the team, and Rob Thomson, their bench coach, was named the new interim manager.[17] From there, the Phillies went 65–46 (.586).[18] They clinched a postseason berth on the third to last day of the season; they were the last postseason team of the 12 to clinch a berth. They qualified for the postseason as the sixth seed wild card entrant with an 87–75 (.537) record.[4][19]

In the National League Wild Card Series, they swept the National League Central division winner St. Louis Cardinals, who were seeded third in the National League. In the National League Division Series, they defeated the defending World Series champion and National League East division winner Atlanta Braves in four games, the NL's second seed. In the National League Championship Series (NLCS), they defeated the fifth-seeded San Diego Padres in five games to clinch a World Series berth for the first time since 2009, which the Phillies lost in six games to the New York Yankees.[20] Bryce Harper won the most valuable player award for the NLCS after batting 8-for-20 (.400) with two home runs and three doubles.[21] With their third place finish, the Phillies were the first team to finish in third place in their division to advance to a World Series since the 1981 New York Yankees.[22]

Dave Dombrowski, the Phillies' president of baseball operations, is making his fifth World Series appearance. Dombrowski is the first lead executive to make World Series appearances with four different teams, having done so with the Florida Marlins in 1997, Detroit Tigers in 2006 and 2012, and the Boston Red Sox in 2018.[23]

Boxscore

Before Game 1, Eric Burton of Black Pumas sang "The Star-Spangled Banner".[26] Terry Puhl threw the ceremonial first pitch and Simone Biles called "play ball!".[27] Justin Verlander started Game 1 for the Astros while Aaron Nola started for the Phillies.[28] This was the first World Series since 1915 to start on a Friday.[29]

Kyle Tucker hit a solo home run off of Nola in the bottom of the second inning. Nola then gave up two singles to Yuli Gurriel and Chas McCormick.[30] With runners at the corners, Martín Maldonado hit a run batted in single scoring Gurriel. José Altuve grounded into a double play to end the inning. Jeremy Peña doubled to start the third for Houston and Alex Bregman drew a walk. Tucker hit a three-run home run into the Astros bullpen to give Houston a 5–0 lead. Verlander took a no-hit bid into the top of the fourth inning when he gave up a single to Rhys Hoskins. Bryce Harper singled, moving Hoskins to third. Nick Castellanos drove in Hoskins with a single, and Alec Bohm drove in Harper and Castellanos with a double down the left-field line to trim the lead to two. [30] In the top of the fifth inning, Verlander gave up a leadoff double to Brandon Marsh, and walked Kyle Schwarber. J. T. Realmuto hit a double off the base of the wall to score both runners and tie the game at five. Realmuto advanced to third on a Harper groundout, but Verlander struck out Castellanos, ending the inning.[30] At the top of the sixth, Nola was replaced by José Alvarado, who retired from the side.[30]

The game remained tied through nine innings, and entered extra innings. In the top of the tenth inning, Realmuto hit a solo home run off Luis García to give the Phillies a one-run lead. Harper singled to left field. A groundout from Bohm gave the Astros their first out of the inning. After García walked Bryson Stott, he was taken out of the game and replaced with Ryne Stanek, who was able to get out of the inning. In the bottom of the tenth inning, David Robertson struck out Yordan Álvarez before giving up a double to Bregman.[31] Tucker tipped off a fair ball that bounced in front of home plate and was thrown out at first. Robertson walked Gurriel, bringing pinch hitter Aledmys Díaz to the plate. Robertson threw a wild pitch to advance the runners to second and third. After working the count to 2–1, Díaz was hit on the elbow by Robertson and started toward first base. However, the home plate umpire ruled that Díaz had leaned into the pitch, resulting in ball three. On the next pitch, Díaz grounded out, ending the game.[31] It was the first time since 2002 that a team had overcome a five-run deficit to win a World Series game, when the San Francisco Giants – also managed by Dusty Baker – blew such a lead in Game 6.[32]

Boxscore

Little Big Town performed the national anthem before Game 2. Craig Biggio threw the ceremonial first pitch to Jeff Bagwell, and Bun B called "play ball!".[27] Framber Valdez started Game 2 for Houston and Zack Wheeler started for Philadelphia.[33]

In the first inning, Jeremy Peña hit an RBI double to score Jose Altuve for the first run. Yordan Álvarez followed with the third straight double to bring in the second run for the Astros. With that hit, Houston became the first World Series team to start a game with three straight extra-base hits. Alvarez came in with the third run on an error. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Alex Bregman hit a two-run home to left field to make the score 5–0. Nick Castellanos scored the first run for the Phillies in the seventh inning to make it 5–1. Kyle Schwarber in the top of the eighth inning at first was thought to have hit a two-run home run which would have made the score 5–3, but was called foul. He flew out deep to right just missing a homer with the next swing that connected.[34] In the top of the ninth inning, Alec Bohm scored on an error by the first baseman to make it 5–2, which proved to be the final score.[35]
