As we enter Game 6 of the NLCS, we already know who’s representing the American League in the World Series. The Houston Astros clinched the AL Pennant last night with a 5-0 shutout of the Red Sox. It was quite a turnaround.
At the start of play Tuesday, Boston led the ALCS two games to one. But it didn’t matter. The Astros came back and won the next three games in a row to advance.
Houston has had a remarkable run the past several years. This marks the third time in five years that they’ve reached the World Series.
