The Astros are headed back to the World Series for the second time in three seasons after winning an unforgettable thriller against the Yankees in Game 6.
Houston led for the nearly the entirety of the ballgame after Yuli Gurriel hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the first, but the Yankees kept the game close, and DJ LeMahieu hit a clutch game-tying blast in the top of the ninth to stun the crowd at Minute Maid Park.
Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman wasn’t able to push the game to extra innings, though. After allowing a two-out walk to George Springer, Chapman threw an 83-mph slider high and outside to José Altuve, who smashed a game-winning two-run shot to left field to end the series.
The Astros will host the Nationals on Tuesday for Game 1 of the World Series. Baseball fans were blown away.
