- Houston Astros one win from ALCS after beating Twins
- Rangers reach ALCS for first time since 2011
In his first season with Texas, veteran manager Bruce Bochy has guided the Rangers into the AL Championship Series. Yordan Alvarez and the Houston Astros are one win from making it a Lone Star State affair.
Corey Seager and Adolis García homered early, Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven smooth innings in another playoff clincher and the Rangers completed a Division Series sweep of the Baltimore Orioles with a 7-1 victory Tuesday night in Game 3.
