Justin Verlander set a not-so-good World Series record on Thursday night.
Verlander, who is the starter for the Houston Astros in Game 5 against the Philadelphia Phillies, allowed his 10th all-time World Series home run in the first inning. His 10 homers given up is now an all-time World Series record.
Kyle Schwarber hit an absolutely mammoth home run off Verlander to get things going for the Phillies as the series is knotted at two games all.
The winner of this game will have the opportunity to win the World Series when it shifts back to Houston for Game 6 on Saturday night. If needed, Game 7 would be played on Sunday night.
Verlander will be hoping that the homer that he gave up to Schwarber is the last one that he allows in this game.
