The Houston Astros fell behind 2–1 after the first three games of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) against the Boston Red Sox. They found great defense, pitching, and hot bats to win three games straight to advance to the World Series.

Astros rookie pitcher Luis Garcia was superb as he brought a no-hitter into the sixth inning. He was finally relieved after two outs in the sixth, after giving up a triple to Enrique Hernandez.
