The whole baseball world is in shock after the Philadelphia Phillies came back from a five-run deficit to take Game 1 of the World Series against the Houston Astros.

Justin Verlander and the Astros got off to a hot start, and it looked like it was going to be another classic Houston win when they went up 5-0 after the third inning. It just seemed like the Phillies had no answer for the Texas franchise that always finds a way to score.

Or so we thought.

The Phillies clawed their way back inning by inning, eventually finding themselves tied at 5-5 and forcing the extra inning. It was there where Philadelphia got their first and only lead for the win, courtesy of  JT Realmuto's go-ahead home run.

Of course the whole world was in awe of what the Phillies just did. They were the heavy underdogs in the series, facing off against a team that won 106 games in the regular season and swept their way to the World Series.

Even making things more amazing, the Phillies' victory is the largest comeback by an NL team in the World Series since 1956. They are also the first team in 20 years to battle back from a five-run deficit and win in a World Series game.

Sure enough, the Philadelphia faithful were just happy with the win. It might have been an emotional one after the team fell to a massive hole, but the important thing is they got the win.
