The Houston Astros have won their first World Series. They defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in Game 7 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
This was the first World Series for the Astros. The team dates back to the 1962 season when they played in the National League.
“This is a dream come true, it’s an honor, but you know what: it’s about the Houston Astros tonight, the city and our fans,” George Springer said. “We’re coming home a champion Houston!…That patch on our chest truly means a lot to us. I’m so happy to our fans who have endured a lot and we’re coming home champions.”
