Houston Astros advance to World Series after beating Boston Red Sox in ALCS

CNN  

CNN — The Houston Astros are headed to World Series for the third time in five seasons after defeating the Boston Red Sox 5-0 in Houston on Friday night. The Astros haven’t won the Series since being embroiled in a sign-stealing controversy after their 2017 championship season, which ended with them beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in a seven-game World Series. With Friday’s victory, led by cleanup hitter Yordan Alvarez, who went 4-for-4, the Astros won the American League Championship Series four games to two. Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa tags out Boston Red Sox's Alex Verdugo at second to end the top of the seventh inning on Friday Tony Gutierrez/AP Tucker put the game out of reach with a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth.
