5:50 PM ET

  • ESPN staff

The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a game in which they absolutely hammered the Houston Astros to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series.

Philadelphia jumped on Lance McCullers Jr. and never let up in the 7-0 victory Tuesday night, mashing five home runs off him to tie a World Series record for most home runs off single pitcher in a Fall Classic. Next, Cristian Javier will try to quiet down Philly’s monstrous bats in Game 4 on Wednesday night and prevent the Phillies from taking one step closer to one of the biggest upsets in World Series history.

Here are the best moments from Game 4.
