Oct. 18 (UPI) -- The Tampa Bay Rays held off the Houston Astros to earn a 4-2 win in Saturday's Game 7 of the American League Championship Series and advance to the World Series for the second time in franchise history.
Randy Arozarena continued his hot hitting and starter Charlie Morton dazzled across 5 2/3 innings to push the Rays into the Fall Classic for the first time since 2008. Tampa Bay lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in five games that year.
