Altuve Blast Wins the Pennant! Astros are going back to the World Series!

Jose Altuve won the American League Championship with one swing of the bat, cranking a two-run home run off Aroldis Chapman to send the Houston Astros back to the World Series for the second time in three seasons.

Can you believe it?

Yes way, Jose.

That’s your ALCS MVP. And he was most deserving, delivering the Astros third pennant in franchise history after an absolutely crushing top half of the ninth.

The Astros had a two-run lead and needed just three outs from their closer Roberto Osuna to end the ALCS against the New York Yankees.
