Astros Move on to League Championship Series
The Houston Astros are one step closer to winning a World Series, and the season came to a close for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Houston won the Division Series 3-1, with a 8-1 victory in the deciding game at Astrodome today.

Houston catcher Craig Biggio was named the MVP of the series, after hitting .429 with a .500 on-base percentage. He had 1 homers, drove in 6 RBI and scored 3 runs.

"I just hope I can keep it up in the League Championship Series," he said.

The Houston Astros will play against the St. Louis Cardinals in the next round. St. Louis won their series against the Philadelphia Phillies 3 games to 0. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Division Series finishes.
