A familiar face to Game 7 this year was on the mound for the Nationals at Minute Maid Park. Max Scherzer started for Washington and pitched five innings. Washington got three runs in the seventh, and tacked on an insurance run in the eighth and two in the ninth.

Lou Brock set a World Series record with three stolen bases in Game 7 of the 1967 series with the Red Sox. His feat stands alone in the record book and had a hand in St. Louis coming out on top to raise the trophy. The largest margin of victory in a World Series Game 7 is 11 runs.
