The Texas Rangers booked their place in the MLB World Series after beating the Houston Astros 11-4 in the deciding game seven of the American League Championship Series.
The Rangers will come up against either the Philadelphia Phillies or the Arizona Diamondbacks, who face off for a place in the final in their deciding game seven on Tuesday.
Corey Seager’s early home run helped Texas grab the initiative straight away as they raced into a commanding lead.
Rangers led 4-2 in the third innings and they hammered in four more runs in the top of the fourth to secure a comfortable triumph as Houston were denied a third-successive World Series appearance.
Texas are the oldest club in Major League Baseball to not have a World Series to their name but will have the opportunity to get their first by playing four of the seven games at their home stadium in Arlington.
