The Astros beat the Twins 3-1 to clinch the first spot in the Division Series round. It was a masterful pitching performance by the Astros that featured some absolutely bone-headed mistakes from the Twins, which you need sometimes to advance. Houston's next game is in Los Angeles on Monday against either the White Sox or A's, whichever one wins today.

Let's just put this in the proper context:

At 24-7, no MLB team won more games at home than the Minnesota Twins.

At 9-23, Houston had the third-worst road record in MLB.

Houston had not won two consecutive road games since August 19-20, 2020.
