Astros vs. Braves live score, updates, highlights from Game 6 of 2021 World Series

The Astros aren’t out of the World Series just yet.

Houston was on the brink of elimination after falling behind three games to one to the Braves with a game still left to play in Atlanta. It fell behind 4-0 after the first inning of Game 5 but then bounced all the way back to win 9-5 and bring the series back to Texas for Game 6 on Tuesday.

The Astros will turn to rookie Luis Garcia to try to push this series to a full seven games. Garcia allowed a run on three hits and four walks in 3 2/3 innings in Game 3, but in his previous postseason outing, he pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings against Boston in Game 6 of the ALCS to help clinch the pennant for Houston. This postseason, he has a 7.62 overall ERA.

GAME 5: Maldonado plays hero | Braves rest top relievers

Atlanta is handing the ball to Max Fried, who struggled in his Game 2 start. He allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings. Prior to that outing, however, he had pitched to a 3.78 ERA in three postseason starts.
