The Philadelphia Phillies have advanced to the World Series after defeating the San Diego Padres four games to one in the National League Championship Series.
The Houston Astros are once again heading for the World Series after sweeping the New York Yankees in the best-of-four League Championship Series. With a 6-5 win Sunday, the Astros advanced to the World Series for the fourth time in six years and will now face the Philadelphia Phillies, who beat the San Diego Padres to win the National League Championship Series earlier on Sunday. Philadelphia advanced to its first World Series since 2009 and looks for its first championship since 2008.
Astros’ rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña was named ALCS most valuable player after picking up six hits and two home runs in the series, including a big three-run shot in Sunday’s decisive win. The Astros will return to Fall Classic for the fourth time since 2017, looking to make amends for a loss in last year’s World Series. The Astros’ one and only World Series championship in franchise history came in 2017.
