The 2017 Houston Astros season was the team's 56th season in Major League Baseball and their first championship with their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games. The team also provided inspiration to Houston the same year the city was hit by Hurricane Harvey. The Astros began the regular season at home versus the Seattle Mariners on April 3, 2017, and concluded on the road at Fenway Park versus the Boston Red Sox on October 1. On September 17, the Astros clinched the AL West with a 7-1 victory over the Mariners, for their first AL West division title while qualifying for the postseason, and seventh division title overall. The Astros defeated Boston 3-2 on September 29 for their 100th win of the season, their first 100-win season since 1998. Overall, the Astros finished with a 101-61 regular season record, their second-highest win total in franchise history, for a .623 winning percentage. Just four days after the end of the regular season, the Astros met the Red Sox at home in the AL Division Series (ALDS), and defeated them in four games. Houston then advanced to the AL Championship Series (ALCS) and defeated the New York Yankees in seven games for their first American League pennant. Combined with their NL pennant in 2005, the Astros became the first MLB team to make it to the World Series as members of both the National League and the American League. Finally, the Astros faced and defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2017 World Series 4 games to 3 for the first title in Astros franchise history. The 2017 Astros featured the highest-scoring offense in the major leagues (896 runs scored), including the highest batting average (.282), on-base percentage (.346), and slugging percentage (.478). The offense was led by AL batting champion and second baseman José Altuve (.346) who won a number of distinctions, including Most Valuable Player (AL MVP), Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year, and Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year.
