World Series 2021 - Colorado Rockies vs. Houston Astros

Game 1 - Colorado wins 2-0

The Rockies started Carlos Peterson in Game 1 since their lengthened series against Atlanta left their top 2 pitchers needing rest. Peterson stepped right in as he went 6 innings and gave up 4 hits before hitting the 100 pitch mark and stepping out. The Bullpen came on for 3 innings and didn't allow a base runner as the Rockies took game 1 with ease.

Game 2- Houston wins 6-3

Rockies SP Travis O'Bryan started well blanking the Astros through 4 innings as the Rockies took a 2-0 lead before the Astros scored 3 in the 5th and 1 in the 6th to make it 4-1. They would add 2 more in the 8th to win game 2 and tie the series at 1.

Game 3 - Colorado Wins 13-8

While games 1 and 2 were pitchers duels for the most part game 3 saw a Rockies offensive explosion as the series headed back to Colorado. The Rockies jumped out front with 6 runs in the 1st inning and another in the 2nd. The Astros kept up though scoring 3 in the 2nd and 3 in the 3rd and were able to tie it at 7 in the 4th with one more. The Rockies offense kept going though while their bullpen shut down the Astros to give the Rockies a 2-1 series lead.

Game 4 - Colorado Wins 6-5

Game 4 of the series pitted SP's Jose Cisnero of the Astros and Willie Calhoun of the Rockies against each other. The Rockies got to Cisnero first with 2 runs in the 3rd but the Astros with 4 runs over the next 2 innings to go up 4-2. The Rockies got 2 home runs in the 6th, a solo shot from Mike Trout and a 2 run home run from Anthony Rizzo to make it 5-4. Mike Trout added his 2nd of the game in the 8th inning to put the game away for the Rockies and give them a 3-1 series lead with a chance to close it out at home in game 5.

Game 5 - Colorado wins 8-7 (10 innings)

Both teams wanted to win game 5 and you could tell as both teams came out swinging as the Astros were leading 6-5 after just the 2nd inning. The Rockies added 2 more in the 5th inning to make it 7-6 in their favor and the bullpen was pitching great. In the top of the 9th the Astros had 1 on and 2 out against closer Antonio Baez. On a 3-2 pitch to Domingo Molina he swung and missed but the ball was missed by Trahan allowing Molina to go to first and the runner to move to 3rd. With runners on the corners a rare wild pitch by Baez allowed the Astros to tie it before he closed out the inning but the game was headed to extras as the Rockies couldn't score in the bottom of the 9th. The top of the 10th was a quick inning for the Astros. In the bottom of the 10th RF Rick Clark led off with a single and would eventually move to 3rd base where a sacrifice fly from Mike Trout allowed Rick Clark to beat the throw home and win it all for the Rockies.
