The Houston Astros are World Series champs! Here are the big plays and moments everybody will be talking about
The Houston Astros are World Series champions for the first time in their 56-year history after they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-1, in Game 7.
The Astros pounded Yu Darvish early, as they scored five runs in the first two innings and knocked Darvish out of the game. Clayton Kershaw came in and settled things down, pitching four scoreless innings, but it was too little, too late.
The big blow came from George Springer, who hit a two-run home run in the second inning that seemingly put the game away early. It was the fourth straight game in which Springer had homered.
At the other end, Charlie Morton pitched the final four innings for the Astros, allowing one run and retiring the final 11 batters he faced.
Below, we tracked the big plays and big scenes from the game. These are the moments everybody will be talking about Thursday and for years to come.
