The Houston Astros finished with the third-best record in all of baseball this season, so not many people were giving the Boston Red Sox a chance against the AL West champions in the ALDS.
After taking the first two games 8-2 it looked like the Astros were going to pull off the sweep, but the Bo Sox shocked everyone by putting together a massive 10-3 victory in Game 3. On Monday afternoon, Boston was an inning and a half away from forcing a Game 5, but thanks to a late rally by the Astros they managed to pull off a series-clinching victory.
Considering the Astros finished third in their division and failed to make the playoffs last season, this win was a big one for Astros fans and the city of Houston.
The Astros will take on whoever wins the series between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians in the NLCS.
