The Cuban pinch hitter Jorge Soler lit the Truist Park with the power of his bat, after hitting the home run that put the Atlanta Braves just one win away from clinching the NBA title. World Series.

If Soler monopolized the spotlight with his key blow to Atlanta’s triumph, the Venezuelan of the Houston Astros, Jose Altuve, with another home run, rose to the runner-up of players with the most home runs in the postseason.

Soler and the short stop Dansby Swanson hit back-to-back home runs for the Braves, who beat the Astros 3-2 and become one triumph to get the World Series title, which is now 3-1 in favor of the Atlanta team.

Exactly three months after the day the Braves called up Soler in those final moments before the trade deadline, Atlanta called up the outfielder for a pinch-bat, which marked the Game 4 win of the “Fall Classic”.

His four-corner hit sent the Astros’ left fielder, his compatriot Yordan Alvarez, to crash violently against the fence, but without being able to reach the ball.

The solitary shot of Soler, who was patient in the batter’s box, in the seventh inning against the Dominican relay Cristian Javier made a difference and put the Braves on the cusp of their first World Series title since 1995 when they beat the Clevaland Indians.

Soler (2), who was perfect with the bat by hitting 1 of 1, sent the ball to the street in the bottom of the seventh inning when there was a out at the entrance, hitting 107 miles per hour.

Soler (2), whose arrival during the season made him one of four acquired outfielders who rescued the Braves after the outfielder’s terrible knee injury Venezuelan Ronald Acuña Jr. That ended his season, he hit a sinker pitch from Javier that didn’t break to the left.

The Astros responded in the fourth inning with a home run by Altuve (2) through center field, with no teammates on the way.

The Venezuelan hit reliever Kyle Wright’s pitches, with no runners ahead, when the pitcher had just one out in the episode.

Altuve had two hits in five trips to the batter’s box, towed a race and scored the two that of the Astros.

In addition to having entered the register with his homers, Altuve stepped on the doorbell in the first episode, with the Puerto Rican shortstop Carlos Correa rolled to the third.

The Puerto Rican traveled four times to the batter’s box and connected once, ending with a tow.

The merit of Altuve is that he achieved a playoff record with seven home runs in the first inning.

Altuve’s first three postseason home runs came in the same game, as he posted a three-homer performance in Game 1 of the 2017 Division Series against the Boston Red Sox.

While Altuve has had his share of home runs in the first inning, his most memorable explosion came in Game 6 of the 2019 American League Championship Series, when he sent Houston to the World Series with a home run off the c.ubano Aroldis Chapman, with which he secured the pennant.

Altuve’s home run to help Houston finish in Game 4 of the 2021 Division Series gave him at least one home run in five consecutive postseason runs.
