The Astros' bats finally came alive in Game 5 as they staved off elimination by the Braves for at least one more game in the 2021 World Series. A win looked improbable early, though.

Atlanta opened its half of the first inning with a grand slam by Adam Duvall, but from there almost all of offensive output for the rest of the night belonged to Houston.

The Astros eventually won 9-5 in Atlanta. They received timely production from an unlikely source — catcher Martin Maldonado, who hit just .172 in the regular season. He had three RBIs and drew a walk, two things he struggled with in the regular season.

Game 5 also featured Atlanta's Freddie Freeman launching a 460-foot home run, the longest of the postseason so far, and a second consecutive bullpen game by the Braves, which produced just mixed results.

The Braves still sit one win away from the franchise's first World Series title since 1995, while Houston is looking for its first since 2017. Atlanta's Brian Snitker and Houston's Dusty Baker are going after their first career World Series managerial title. Baker holds the distinction of having the most regular-season managerial wins without a World Series crown.

Here's how you can watch the potential clinching Game 6 of the 2021 World Series between the Astros and Braves.
