Astros reach 3rd World Series in 5 seasons
The Red Sox could only manage two hits against Luis Garcia and the Houston relievers. It was sweet revenge for Garcia, who was shellacked by the Sox in game 2. (He faced only eight batters and gave up five earned runs.)
Yordan Alvarez was the series MVP with a .522 batting average capped by Friday’s 4-for-4 with three extra-base knocks. The big slugger is only 24 and appears headed for major stardom.
