Kody Clemens had a home run for Phillies, while J.T. Realmuto also followed suit.

With this victory Astros put an end to a poor run of form, which saw them lose twice to Philadelphia with a total score of 9-2.

“It was, it was huge, especially against the team that we faced in the World Series,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said.

“You’ve got to win these games when you’re struggling and it was big for us to salvage a win.”
