The Braves lead the Astros 7-0 going to the bottom of the ninth, making Atlanta three outs away from claiming a World Championship. The Astros are scheduled to send Michael Brantley, Carlos Correa, and Yordan Alvarez to the plate against Will Smith.

Update: Brantley falls behind 1-2. He works the count full, then lines a single to right. Smith was flirting with the edges, rather than going after the batter.

Update: Correa falls behind 0-2, as Smith goes into the strike zone. Correa flies out to right on a 1-2 pitch. One down.

Update: Alvarez falls behind 1-2. He works the count full, then flies out to leftfield. Two down and Yuli Gurriel is coming to the plate.

Update: Gurriel falls behind 0-2. He hits the next pitch to Dansby Swanson at short. Swanson makes the throw to first, and the Braves are the World Champions!
