World Series: Astros hold off Phillies for team’s first title since cheating scandal

• Houston win 4-1 over Philadelphia in Game 6 of World Series
• Astros' Dusty Baker gets first title in 25th season as manager
• World Series Game 6: Phillies 1-4 Astros - as it happened

Yordan Alvarez hit a towering go-ahead homer and the Houston Astros clinched their second World Series title in six seasons and got Dusty Baker his first crown as a manager with a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 6 on Saturday night.

As Alvarez's 450ft blast in the sixth inning disappeared, Astros starter Framber Valdez jumped and wildly screamed in the dugout as fans in the crowd of 42,948 went into a frenzy waving their orange rally towels.
