◆American League World Series Game 6 Astros-Phillies (November 5, Houston-Minute Maid Park)
The Astros of the American League West Division defeated the Phillies of the National League East Division, 4-2, with three straight wins to win their second World Series since 2007. The Astros won their second World Series title since winning the first in 201/07.
The Astros returned to their home turf after winning two straight in hostile territory to take a 3-2 lead in the championship. In the game, starting left-hander Valdez gave up a solo shot to Schwarber in the top of the 6th inning to allow the first run to score, but immediately afterwards in the bottom of the 6th inning, the main gun, Alvarez, hit a 450 ft. (about 137 meters) and a velocity of 112.5 mph (about 1.81 km/h). The game ended in a comeback in the bottom of the 6th inning, when Alvarez, the mainstay of the lineup, delivered a spectacular oversized three-run shot that flew 450 feet and hit 112.5 mph.
U.S. Major League Baseball World Series Game 6 Astros-Phillies (November 5, Houston-Minute Maid Park)
The Astros defeated the Mariners in the District Series and the Yankees in the League Championship Series, both undefeated. They were unable to gain momentum in the World Series, losing the first game by five runs and losing the second game by two, but in Game 4 in a hostile environment, they won the World Series for the second time in six years. In Game 4 of the World Series, the Astros scored a run without allowing a hit for the second time in six years, and also became the first team in history to win a game with a no-hit, no-run relay to break a 2-2 tie. The team went on to win its third straight game.
The team won the World Series against the Dodgers in 2017, reaching the pinnacle for the first time in the team’s 56-year existence. However, sign-stealing that year was later discovered, and then-manager A.J. Hinch, GM J. Renaud, and others were punished. In addition, major players such as Springer, Correa, Cole, and Morton were shipped out to other teams every year. Nevertheless, the team has made the postseason six years in a row since 2017, and has also reached the World Series in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The team also advanced to the World Series in 2019, 2021, and 2022. This season, newcomer Pena filled the hole left by Correa, who was traded to the Twins, and the team has always been at the top of the lineup, with new players emerging one after another in the pitching and hitting categories.
For manager Baker, this is also a long-cherished goal. He has managed five teams since 1988, including the Giants, Cubs, Reds, Nationals, and Astros, and has led them all to district championships. In May of this year, his 25th season, he became the 12th manager in history to reach the 200-0 win mark. He turned 73 in June, but this was the first time he had won a World Series, something he had never done before.
The World Series was decided on November 5 (local time), the slowest World Series ever. It was the first time in nine years since the 2013 Red Sox, in which Koji Uehara became the pitcher who brought home the World Championship.
Houston Astros: The Astros joined the Mets in 1962 when the team expanded. The nickname was “Colt 45’s” at the time, but it became “Astros” in 1965 when the Astrodome, the first indoor stadium in history, was completed. They won their first district championship in 11980. They won their first league championship by defeating the Cardinals in 2005, when they advanced as a wild card team, but lost all four games to the W-Sox in the WS. The team was moved from the National League Middle Division to the American League West in 2013. They made it to the PS for the first time in 10 years in 2003 when Hinch took over as manager. The team won its first WS title in the 56th year of the team’s history in 2017, when current Japanese baseball team Yakult’s Norichika Aoki was on the team. Its home ballpark is Minute Maid Park (41,168 seats) with a retractable roof, completed in 2000.
