The Houston Astros sweep the Yankees and will meet the Phillies in the World Series

Another World Series for the Houston Astros, an irrepressible team that knows how to win with endless resources.

Yordan Alvarez and Alex Bregman timely hits contributed and Astros sealed a sweep four games over the Yankees in the American League championship series by winning 6-5 on Sunday with the complicity of an error by the defense of New York.

Capitalizing on a costly error by second baseman Gleyber Torres on a throw, the Astros turned the score around in the seventh inning to go for their second straight tour pennant and fourth in six years.

In pursuit of his second World Series championship, the Astros will host the Philadelphia Phillies starting Friday. Houston repeats in a Fall Classic after losing in six games to the Atlanta Braves last year.

The Phillies defeated San Diego in the first hour, taking the National League series in five duels.

It was the first time both pennants had been decided on the same day since 1992.

With an immaculate 7-0 record this postseason, Houston will have another opportunity to consecrate itself and bury the sign-stealing scandal that tainted the championship won in 2017, the only one in the franchise.

And Dusty Baker, his 73-year-old manager, will try once again to get the elusive first title of his career as a manager.
