World Series Game 7: Fans

After getting swept at home and seeing their 2-0 World Series lead evaporate, the Washington Nationals stunned the Houston Astros, who were hoping to clinch at home in Game 6, winning 7-2.

Now the series is tied 3-3, and we are headed to a dramatic seventh game of the World Series in Houston.

After being unable to pitch in Game 5 due to serve neck spasms, Nats ace Max Scherzer started Game 7.

WHAT: World Series Game 7, Houston Astros (107-55) at Washington Nationals (93-69)

WHERE: Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas

WHEN: 8:08 p.m. EST Wednesday

WHO: Max Scherzer will get the start for Game 7 for the Nationals. He'll face off against the Astros' Zack Greinke.

HOW TO WATCH: The game will be broadcast nationwide on Fox.

METRO: The game may be in Houston, but there will be a huge watch party at Nats Park -- all 36,000 tickets reportedly were snapped up for Wednesday night, according to WTOP. As a result, Metro is keeping four stations open late to take fans home: the one located near Nats Park, and Waterfront, L'Enfant Plaza, and Gallery Place-Chinatown where other major watch parties are taking place. Metro will be open for one additional hour after the end of the game.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

CNN: "The Houston Astros are trying to win their second World Series in three seasons, while the Washington Nationals — in their first Fall Classic in franchise history — will attempt to complete one of the most improbable comebacks in baseball, becoming the fourth team in MLB history to reach the World Series after being 12 games under .500 during the season. It's the first World Series appearance for a team from the nation's capital since the 1933 Washington Senators."

ESPN: "The biggest question for the Nationals: The bullpen. The Nationals had the worst bullpen ERA by a playoff team since World War II. Other than one Corbin blowup against the Dodgers, however, the pen has been pretty solid this postseason. Still, Martinez can comfortably rely upon just three relievers: closer Daniel Hudson, lefty Sean Doolittle and Tanner Rainey, who throws 100 and has pitched his way into a setup role. Those three have combined to allow four runs and 10 hits with 15 strikeouts in 17 innings in the playoffs."

SB Nation: "The Nats winning is not the most likely outcome, but, as the cliche goes, anything can happen in a short series. What matters is that we have a compelling, multi-layered narrative to pay attention to: an attempt at a mini-dynasty, potential last, best chances at winning, departing free agent stars, and no juiced ball in sight to mess with any of it. The playoffs so far have been an incredible spectacle, and the World Series looks like a worthy culmination of that spectacle."
