In a dramatic conclusion, the New York Yankees ultimately prevailed over the Houston Astros. The game ended when closer Aroldis Chapman faced the league's reigning MVP, Jose Altuve, with two runners on base, striking him out swinging on three successive fastballs each registering 101 miles per hour to secure the victory. New York had mounted a crucial three-run rally in the top of the ninth inning, powered in part by a key hit from rookie Gleyber Torres, which allowed them to overcome Houston and take the lead in what had been a seesaw battle.
