Pitcher Brad Peacock scrambled to field the ball and threw to first, but the ball hit Turner in the back of the right leg. Yan Gomes led off with a single, and Trea Turner followed by pounding a ball into the dirt in front of home plate in what turned into an accidental bunt.

Washington eventually carried a 3-2 lead into the seventh inning on the back of the Eaton and Soto home runs, chasing Verlander in yet another World Series start that wasn’t quite good enough, and that’s when things became really weird. Article content Dave Martinez #4 of the Washington Nationals argues with umpire Gary Cederstrom as he is ejected and is held back in Game Six of the 2019 World Series. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. But Strasburg settled down, too, with a perfect bottom of the second. Minute Maid Park was buzzing Verlander had wobbled, gotten through it, and now there was the anticipation of a killshot. With his deficit turned around into a 2-1 lead, Verlander breezed through the second inning, striking out Asdrubal Cabrera and Victor Robles in a tiny frame. Martinez agreed, and said the Nats realized that the Astros seemed to know what was coming. Strasburg said after the game that he was tipping his pitches in that first inning, and that they made “a coaching adjustment” in the dugout to sort it out.
The MVP candidate carried his bat all the way up the first-base line - kind of like the funhouse mirror version of a bat flip. He scored on Jose Altuve sacrifice fly after a wild pitch moved him to third, and then Bregman followed with a rocket of a home run to the short porch in left. The need for more runs was quickly proven in the bottom of the inning, when George Springer led off with a double that was powdered off the left field wall. Only two pitchers in MLB history had a better number over at least 40 innings, Sandy Koufax and Mariano Rivera. He came into Tuesday night with a 4-0 record in the postseason, and had lowered his career playoff ERA to a sparkling 1.34. The Nationals countered with Strasburg, the one-time phenom finally having a career season. Justin Verlander, a perennial All-Star with a long postseason resume, was somehow 0-5 in the World Series, with a 5.73 ERA no less. The Game 6 matchup was an intriguing one from a pitching perspective: two aces, but each with distinctly different trendlines. “We don’t know, but we’re going to try to continue to run it this way,” he said. “Let’s come back tomorrow and do it again.” Anthony Rendon, who had five RBI on the night, said he couldn’t explain why the visiting team has won all six games, a World Series first. “I’m super proud of them,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said after the game, from which he was ejected after that seventh-inning umpire controversy.
