Last night, the Houston Astros defeated the New York Yankees 4-0 in Game 7 of the ALCS to advance to the World Series. Jose Altuve and Evan Gattis both hit home runs as Charlie Morton and Lance McCullers Jr. combined for nine shutout innings and 11 strikeouts.
This was the only the fifth time in MLB history that every game in a seven-game series was won by the home team. The Astros also became the only team in the modern era to have reached a World Series in both the NL and AL.
The World Series will begin on Tuesday at 8 p.m. and will be aired on FOX.
