The previous record was also set against the Yankees: In the 2001 World Series, the Diamondbacks limited the Bombers to five runs over the four games played in Phoenix (all of which the D-backs won).<br /><br />The Yankees are now 14-13 all-time in winner-take-all postseason games.<br /><br />Every Astros batter contributed at least one hit in their Game Seven victory, marking only the third time that every player who came to the plate for a team in a winner-take-all postseason game made at least one hit. It last happened in Game Seven of the 2004 ALCS, when the Red Sox completed their unprecedented comeback from a three-games-to-none deficit by defeating the Yankees, 10-3, and advancing to the World Series. All 10 players in the Red Sox lineup had at least one hit in that game.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
