Houston Astros Defeat New York Yankees to Reach World Series
by privatebet.com - 2022/10/24
The latest showdown between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees was pretty intense since the spot in the World Series was at stake. The Astros managed to narrowly beat the Yankees on Sunday and secured a place in the World Series for the fourth time in the last six years. Game 4 between the two teams was pretty unpredictable until the very last moment, and the Astros seemed to be down on their luck in the beginning. They struggled to stifle the Yankees' offense and had to overcome an early 3-0 deficit to come out victorious. They eventually managed to score a 5-6 win, winning the American League Championship along the way. Jeremy Peña’s three-run homer was one of the night’s most memorable moments, and he was named ALCS Most Valuable Player on Sunday night. Astros manager Dusty Baker will be seeking his first World Series title as the team’s manager following this victory. He praised the players for making it happen and described them as the greatest guys that he’s been around. “Some people, most people, are rooting for us; some people are rooting against us. It doesn't matter… There are a lot of positive thoughts coming our way. There are a ton of positive thoughts and spiritual togetherness in the city of Houston,” said Baker after the game.
