Yordon Alvarez homered in the sixth inning and the Astros beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in Game 6 of the World Series on Saturday night.
With Jose Altuve and Jeremy Pena on the trails, Alvarez hit a throw from reliever Jose Alvarado wide to center field to give the Astros a 3-1 lead.

The Astros became the first major league team to win the World Series on home soil since the Boston Red Sox in 2013.
