of reaching the World Se-ries. The slugging desig-nated hitter had four hits, including a triple and two doubles. He led a Game 5 win with three hits and three RBIs.
Álvarez hit an ALCS-re-cord .522 (12 for 23) with one homer, three doubles, the triple and six RBIs in Houston’s six-game victo-ry. He got nine hits in his last 13 at-bats.
Catcher Martín Mal-donado made the defen-sive play of the game on a strikeout-throwout dou-ble play to end the seventh with Houston ahead 2-0.
It will be Baker’s second trip to the Fall Classic as a manager and first since leading the San Francisco Giants to the NL pennant in 2002. As a player, he made three trips with the Dodg-ers, winning it all in 1981.
“Hey, I’m going back to the World Series!” Baker told a cheering crowd at Minute Maid Park.
For Houston, it was a team victory featuring all facets of the game it used in taking the AL West title. The Astros won, too, with-out a hit from stars Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa — Alex Bregman got two hits and scored a run.
Boston’s best shot to score came in the seventh. The wild-card Red Sox
had runners at first and third with one out in after a single by Alex Verdugo. But Kendall Graveman struck out pinch-hitter Travis Shaw and Maldona-do made a perfect throw to Correa, who was covering second, to beat Verdugo there and end the inning.
