Of course, the Astros haven't been around all that long in MLB franchise terms. (The Phillies, coincidentally, also have two).

The win in game 6 means that the Astros have become the 21st MLB franchise to win multiple World Series titles. The Astros joined the next tier of franchises Game 4, of course, occasioned a combined no-hitter for the Astros. That depth yielded dominance over the final three games of this series, as Houston pitching limited the Phillies to a total of three runs in Games 4, 5, and 6 combined (two of those runs came on Schwarber solo homers). Pitching depth was the Astros' playoff calling card, and they largely played to type this October and November. Houston pitching was elite over the final games of the series Unfortunately for Philly, it would not last. Most important of all, though, it gave the Phillies their first lead since Game 3. Alvarado enjoyed the platoon advantage against the first batter he faced, Yordan Alvarez, but as you're about to see it didn't much matter: With two on and one out, Phillies manager Rob Thomson lifted his ace Zack Wheeler in favor of power lefty Jose Alvarado, who's emerged as one of the Phils' go-to, high-leverage relievers. Yordan Alvarez dropped a bomb on Philly's hopes Now for some takeaways from the clincher in Houston. The other came in 2017, a season the Astros were later found to have illegally stole signs. This marks the second World Series title for the Astros franchise. In addition to Valdez's and Alvarez's heroics, rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña notched a pair of hits and was on base for the Alvarez homer. In the home half of the sixth, Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez authored a booming three-run home run off Phillies reliever José Alvarado that gave Houston a 3-1 lead that the lockdown bullpen would not relinquish. For Houston, Framber Valdez was near flawless until allowing a sixth-inning solo homer to Kyle Schwarber that gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead. The Astros defeated the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night in Game 6, 4-1, and in doing so took the series by a count of four games to two. The Houston Astros are World Series champions for 2022.
