Red Sox Take Game, Series Over Astros

The Boston Red Sox took the game and the series 4-1 over the Houston Astros Thursday night to advance to the World Series.

David Price ended his winless string of postseason starts and helped the Red Sox advance to the Fall Classic for the first time since 2013. The Red Sox now await the winner of the NLCS between the Dodgers and Brewers. The Dodgers can wrap up that series with a win tonight in Milwaukee.
