Eddie Rosario then scored the Braves’ first run of the game to kick-start their comeback in the bottom of the sixth inning. After limiting the Astros to nought in the top of the seventh, the Braves completed their comeback in a flash.

Swanson smashed a 95mph pitch from Astros relief pitcher Cristian Javier straight into the stands on the right side of the field to score a solo home run which tied the game.

A few moments later, Soler followed suit, smashing an 81mph pitch high towards the left side of the field. Despite Yordan Álvarez’s best efforts to catch the ball, it sailed just over the wall to hand Soler a solo home run and a 3-2 lead to the Braves.

This effort from the pair also marked the first time the Braves scored consecutive home runs in the World Series in their history.
