Now that the matchup is set, here's what we learned about Houston and Philadelphia in their championship series.

Philadelphia slugger Bryce Harper hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning on Sunday as the Phillies rallied past the San Diego Padres 4-3 in Game 5 of the NLCS, securing a bid in the World Series.

Harper's two-run home run in the eighth inning gave this city something few expected: the 2022 N.L. pennant.

Bruce Bochy has won a World Series in Texas, something the Rangers haven't done. Now he is coming out of a three-year retirement in hopes of getting the home team back there.

Houston and Philadelphia will face off in a matchup of teams that have caught fire in the postseason. Game 1 is set for Friday in Houston.

A 99-win team in the regular season, Sunday night's game had a little of everything from the past six month: a home run, a rally, an injury and a reliever giving up the lead.
