He did win as a player with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pena hit what should have been an inning-ending double-play ball to Torres in the seventh. Giancarlo Stanton laced an RBI single off McCullers, and Torres blooped a run-scoring single into centre. He is 0-6 in seven World Series starts. Back in the leadoff spot, Harrison Bader had three hits and scored three times for New York. Chas McCormick hit an early two-run homer off New York ace Gerrit Cole after Bader, a Gold Glove outfielder, dropped a two-out fly when he nearly collided with Judge in right-centre. We keep facing the best of the best and we keep winning," pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. Baker said during the post-game celebration on the field.

The New York Yankees are again without a World Series appearance or an American League pennant following their sweeping loss to the Houston Astros.

Houston and the Seattle Mariners were the only American League teams the Yankees were under .500 against. But what it comes down to is they just played better than us," Judge said after the game. Aaron Judge, this season, set the American League record with 62 home runs in a single season. New York is the first team to lose five straight ALCS appearances, according to ESPN Stats & Info. While the Astros get to move onto their fourth World Series appearance in six years, the Yankees are again ending a season without a ring or even an appearance. The Astros got big hits from Yordan Alvarez, Alex Bregman and Jeremy Pena in big moments.

ESPN MLB experts break down what the Phillies and Astros need to do to win the World Series.

Oh, one reason to start Nola in Game 2 instead of Game 1: He had a 3.84 ERA in the regular season on four days of rest (14 starts), but 2.79 on five days (13 starts). If he starts Game 1, he would go again in Game 5 on four days of rest, but if he goes in Games 2 and 6, he gets five days of rest. Against the Padres, however, he had a 4-0 lead but allowed back-to-back home runs in the second and then four runs in the fifth. As he goes, so goes the Phillies' offense, which could shock the world by getting to a dominant Astros staff. Rogers: The Phillies' mojo will keep the Astros from winning in a short series, but eventually all that pitching will win out for them. He pitched just 11 times on back-to-back days in the regular season and has had days off between all six of his postseason appearances -- at least two days in five of those. Schoenfield: The bullpen depth is still a little questionable -- although Connor Brogdon had a clutch seven-out effort against the Padres in Game 4 and Andrew Bellatti has pitched well enough in his five appearances and could be a good matchup against Houston's righty-heavy lineup (he allowed a .608 OPS against righties, but .866 to lefties). Seranthony Dominguez has allowed just one run in 7 2/3 postseason innings with 15 strikeouts and no walks -- and that one run was in part a result of the wet conditions on Sunday. Passan: Considering the Astros have gotten to the World Series with him practically nonexistent, perhaps Jose Altuve is a foolish answer. Schoenfield: The stars are hot -- not just the sluggers, but also Zack Wheeler, who has a 1.78 ERA in his four starts. Depth and consistency usually play well in October, and Houston has proved that against both the Mariners, in the AL Division Series, and the Yankees. Under MLB's new playoff format, the Phillies entered as the sixth and final seed in the National League but advanced all the way to the Fall Classic, while the American League's No.
