Astros Eliminate Red Sox in Game 6, Clinch 3rd AL Pennant Since 2017

The Houston Astros are going to the World Series after defeating the visiting Boston Red Sox 5-0 in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Friday in Minute Maid Park.

Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez continued to rake by smacking a first-inning RBI double and scoring on a sixth-inning groundout after landing on third with a triple.

He added two singles to go 4-for-4 and now has eight hits in his last 10 at-bats.

Right fielder Kyle Tucker piled on with a three-run homer in the eighth to score Alvarez and shortstop Carlos Correa.
