HOUSTON — Of all the Phillies’ wins in this unlikely playoff run, Friday’s may have been the most unlikely.

Buried in a five-point first hole against presumptive AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander, in the hostile confines of Minute Maid Park, the Phillies gave up. And then the thunder hit in the 10e inning.

JT Realmuto’s shot into right field from Luis Garcia continued to carry, just beyond Kyle Tucker’s outstretched glove, for a home run that sent the Phillies to a 6-5 victory over the Astros in the first World Series game.
