For the second time in the last 6 years, the Houston Ostros won the World Series tonight (between Saturday and Sunday), after a 1:4 victory over Philadelphia in the game itself and 2:4 in the entire series.
Dusty Baker has waited many years for this moment.
The veteran Houston coach never won a World Series.
He had touched it before, but had not reached the desired destination - until tonight.
Prembar Valdez had another big performance with six innings and nine strikeouts, though the Phillies took the lead in the sixth inning on Kyle Schwarber's home run.
RAISE THAT TROPHY.

Houston's response came in the bottom of the inning.
A home run by Jordan Alvarez from the hands of Jose Alvarado put two more runners in, and the hosts made it 1:3.
Another single made it 1:4, and from here Houston kept the score and gave the signal for the celebrations.

For the 73-year-old Baker, it was his first degree since he began coaching 29 years ago.
He was asked "what's next" and replied: "What's next? I said if I win once I want to win again."
Houston, by the way, reached the final series for the fourth time in six years, when in all these years it reaches the regional final.
