Major League Baseball's official highlights from the Houston Astros and San Francisco Giants meeting, embedded above, collect the game's decisive swings in the league's own edit — the fastest honest account of how the runs were scored before the written record is consulted.
Highlight reels and box scores answer different questions, and readers get the most from using both. The reel shows quality of contact, defensive range and the crowd's reading of the game's turn; the box score shows who was on base, what the count was and what the scorebook will remember. Our sports desk's written baseball coverage works from scores and schedules, and treats reels as the visual companion they are designed to be.
October schedules compress attention across sports, and baseball's postseason shares the month with football and the returning winter leagues. An official league cut, credited and embedded rather than copied, remains the cleanest way to catch up on a game the evening did not allow — provided it is filed, as here, as a viewing aid rather than a result in itself.

Final scores, standings and postseason implications in our written coverage are checked against the leagues' published records, not inferred from highlight selection.
