The Washington Nationals will meet President Trump at the White House on Monday to celebrate their World Series win. At least one player has declined to attend.

The game featured timely home runs, stifling pitching by the Nationals' Stephen Strasburg and a controversial call by the umpires that nearly changed the course of the game.

The Houston Astros have taken a 3-2 lead in the World Series, after defeating Washington 7-1 in Game 5 in the nation's capital, pushing the underdog Nationals to the edge of elimination.
