CHICAGO -- The Houston Astros advanced to their fifth consecutive American League Championship Series on Tuesday by beating the Chicago White Sox 10-1 in Game 4 of their best-of-five division series matchup.
The Astros are the third team ever to appear in five straight league championship series, and first to do so since the Atlanta Braves reached eight straight from 1991-1999.
For the second time in five days, Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. held the White Sox offense in check, giving up just a solo home run, to designated hitter Gavin Sheets, in the second inning.
