After a slight weather delay, Game 3 of the World Series is here.
The Philadelphia Phillies took Game 1 in exciting fashion, engineering a comeback from being down 5-0 to the Houston Astros. The Astros, however, jumped out to another 5-0 lead in Game 2, and that time it stuck. The series heads to Philadelphia tied 1-1, and whoever wins this one could seize the momentum going forward.
Here are the best sights and sounds from Game 3.

A strong alliance
The World Series rivalry between the Astros and Phillies extends beyond the field and into the kitchens of Philadelphia restaurants.
Two popular Philadelphia restaurants — Angelo’s Pizzeria and Mike’s BBQ — declined catering requests from the Houston Astros.
In a post on the Mike’s BBQ’s Instagram account, Astros dietician Lisa Clarke reached out to the restaurant hoping to order food for the team. But in the post, Clarke mentions a “Gil” and appears to be searching for Latin food, which is not served at Mike’s.
Philadelphians on the internet hypothesized the team might have been trying to reach Gil Arends, co-owner of Puyero Venezuelan Flavor, a restaurant that serves Latin food.
On the Angelo’s Pizzeria’s Instagram story, owner Danny DiGiampietro asserted that he had not cooked for the Astros after Phillies fans confused his restaurant with Angelo’s, which serves hoagies.
