Anthony Rendon is a champion…

The 29-year-old Latino professional baseball player helped the Washington Nationals clinch their first World Series title after defeating the Houston Astros 6-2 in Game 7 on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park.

It’s the first time in World Series history that the road team has won every game.

Rendon and Howie Kendrickhomered to power the Nationals, who had finished the regular season as a wild-card team, to victory.

Starter Max Scherzer kept the Nationals in the game, throwing five innings and giving up two runs. Patrick Corbin, a starter turned reliever for this game, pitched three scoreless innings to earn the win.

Daniel Hudson pitched a perfect ninth to earn the save.

Astros reliever Will Harris, who gave up Kendrick’s go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, took the loss.

The Nats broke it open with a run in the eighth and two runs in the ninth.

The Astros struck first. Yuli Gurrielhit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the second inning to make it 1-0.

In the bottom of the fifth, Houston’s Carlos Correasingled off Rendon’s glove to score Gurriel, who had grounded into a force play and gone to second on a walk to Yordan Alvarez. That made the score 2-0.

But the Astros couldn’t score again, leaving 10 men on base.

While the title is the first for the Nationals’ franchise, it is the second for the city. In 1924, the Washington Senators, now the Minnesota Twins, defeated the New York Giants four games to three.

Meanwhile Juan Soto was 2-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday’s Game 7 win for the Nationals. The 21-year-old Dominicanphenom walked and scored on Kendrick’s two-run home run in the seventh inning, then drove home Adam Eaton with an RBI single in the eighth. Soto hit .333/.438/.741 with three home runs, two doubles, seven RBI and six runs scored in the Fall Classic.

Soto reached base in all seven World Series games, and was kept off the bases in just one of his 17 postseason games. He also figured mightily in several Nationals wins.

He’s just the fourth player to hit a World Series home run prior to his 21st birthday. He turned 21 the day of Game 3, then homered in both Games 5 and 6.
