ACLS: Astros One Win Away From World Series

 At Yankee Stadium, the Bronx, New York:

Cristian Javier pitched 5 and 1/3 innings of five strikeout shutout baseball and the bullpen did the rest as the Houston Astros handcuffed the New York Yankees 5-0, holding them to three base hits on Saturday in game three of the American League Championship Series.

Chas McCormick hit an early two-run homer for Houston.

The Astros, now up three games to none, can lock up the American League pennant, their third in six years (and a trip to the World Series) with a game-four victory in the Bronx on Sunday (4:07 PM Pacific Time, TBS).
