Phillies' bats go cold in crunch time in 3-2 Game 5 loss to Astros

Dan Gelston...do us baseball lovers a BIG favor, if you could keep 'the score' off the front page headers - that would be great!

Without the late-game dramatics, Philly sports fans with divided loyalties might have flipped the channel to catch the undefeated Eagles put the finishing touches on a 29-17 win in Houston over the Texans.

The Texans put the score of the World Series on the big screens early and often. When they showed the Astros were already up 1-0 before kickoff, the crowd roared with approval.

Chants of “Let’s go Astros” rang out in the club level of the stadium almost an hour after the football game had ended.

Eagles players stuck around Houston long enough to watch the ninth inning in the locker room. Back home, the Phillies showed short clips of Eagles touchdowns.
