NEW YORK -- — Yordan Alvarez and Alex Bregmandelivered big hits and the Houston Astros advanced to the World Series again, finishing a four-game sweep of New York in the AL Championship Series with a 6-5 victory Sunday night aided by another defensive gaffe from the Yankees.
Taking advantage of a costly error by second baseman Gleyber Torres to produce the go-ahead rally in the seventh inning, the Astros won their second consecutive pennant and fourth in six years.
Rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña hit a three-run homer off ailing Yankees starter Nestor Cortes to help the AL West champions overcome an early 3-0 deficit. Peña was picked as the ALCS MVP.
Houston will open the World Series at home Friday night against Bryce Harper and the wild-card Philadelphia Phillies, who beat San Diego earlier in the day to close out the best-of-seven NLCS in five games.
It was the first time both pennants were decided on the same day since 1992.

With the talk about Verlander potentially being the last pitcher to reach 300 wins (currently at 257, age 41, starting this season hurt, ufa in 2026), I hope that Cole's career is long enough and healthy enough he gets to 300 wins or close to it
Cole has 145 wins, is entering his age 33 season, is starting this year hurt and has 5 or 6 years guaranteed with the yankees (6 if he uses his opt out, which he should imo). Totally possible he keeps pitching after his current contract ends as he'll be 38 or 39. Basically, I'm just hoping that he'll still be able to pitch at the age Verlander is still able to pitch to at least have a shot at 300. Especially if the yankees get another deal with him
