Chronicles of the 118th World Series: The Houston Astros took control of Game 4, with a combined historic no-no and enough offensive punch to bring back hope.

It's often said that after a game with high offensive production, sometimes teams can't hit. Obviously, we have no way to sustain that, but, in truth, it usually happens.
The Philadelphia Phillies were one of those victims Wednesday night in Game 4 of the World Series: Cristian Javier and three relievers threw a historic combined no-hitter in the Astros' 5-0 win.
The World Series took another turn: it is even 2-2.
The Phillies, looking to lead this Fall Classic with a 3-1 lead at Citizens Bank Park, went 69-swinging, struck out 14 times and the hit never came.
Houston delivered the deathblow with five runs in the fifth inning, and that hopeful smile returned to Dusty Baker's face.
