Soler, who only played two games in the National League Championship Series, hit the go-ahead home run off Javier to put the Braves up 3-2 in the most opportune moment of the game. Soler’s hit rocketed to left field and narrowly avoided the glove of Yordan Alvarez.
It was Soler’s second home run of the World Series and postseason. It was Swanson’s first home run of the postseason.

The back-to-back jacks helped Atlanta to the Game 4 victory, 3-2.
After Soler's home run, Eddie Rosario would make an incredible catch to take away at least a single from Astros star Jose Altuve.
Atlanta used six pitchers to get through the Astros, starting with rookie left-handed pitcher Dylan Lee and ending with Will Smith. Lee came into the start with only two regular-season innings under his belt along with 2 2/3 innings in the postseason. He was supposed to be a part of Atlanta’s strategy to go to the bullpen often against the Houston lineup.
WORLD SERIES GAME 4 STARTING PITCHERS TIED TO INTERESTING MLB HISTORY
Lee got into trouble early and loaded the bases before he was taken out for Kyle Wright. Lee only lasted one-third of an inning before Wright came in to shut Houston down. One runner crossed the plate in the first inning before it was over. Carlos Correa was credited with the RBI.

Lee was the first pitcher in MLB history to make his first-ever major league start in a World Series game. He also had the shortest World Series start since San Diego Padres pitcher Mark Thurmond in 1984. Thurmond recorded only got one out in Game 5 of the World Series against the Detroit Tigers, according to CBS Sports.

Greinke started the game for Houston. He went four innings and struck out three. He only allowed four hits. Javier and Brooks Raley allowed runs to the Braves.
Game 4 also had former President Trump in the stands at Truist Park. He partook in the "tomahawk chop" gesture despite the controversy surrounding the celebration.
