The Houston Astros shutout the New York Yankees 4-0 in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday night to win their first pennant since 2005.

Charlie Morton and Lance McCullers Jr combined in the three-hit shutout, striking out eleven batters combined and each walking just one. Evan Gattis got Houston on the board in the fourth inning with a long-solo homer. In the fifth, Jose Altuve hit a solo-homer of his own before ex-Yankee Brian McCann added a two-run double.
