Houston’s Lance McCullers Jr. set a World Series record by allowing five home runs. The Phillies hinted they were onto something but McCullers said he just pitched poorly.

Bryce Harper calls him Captain and Dave Dombrowski says he “epitomizes” the club. Rhys Hoskins is mostly concerned with this Phillies team writing its own story.
