The Houston Astros are on to the American League Division Series.
Houston finished second in baseball with 230 home runs this season. They only needed one more to take down the New York Yankees on Tuesday, and Colby Rasmus delivered.
The Astros outfielder took the first pitch he saw from Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka in the second inning and plunked it in the right field seats.
Rasmus' homer was all the support his team would need, but outfielder Carlos Gomez added some insurance -- and did it in style.
The Astros won the AL Wild Card game 3-0. They'll begin the ALDS on the road against the defending AL champion Kansas City Royals on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
