White Sox beat Astros, ending 88-year World Series drought

The Chicago White Sox edged the Houston Astros 1-0 in Houston on Wednesday to win a first World Series title in 88 years with a four-game sweep.
The Astros finished the 44-year-old franchise's first World Series by going scoreless in their final 15 innings as they became the 19th team to suffer a championship sweep.
The White Sox had appeared in the World Series in 1959 and last won the title in 1917.
"We're no longer the second team in Chicago," White Sox designated hitter Carl Everett told a news conference on the field in Houston.
Champagne sprayed, fireworks lit up the sky and fans screamed, hugged and even cried on Wednesday as Chicago toasted the first White Sox World Series championship since 1917.
There were no immediate reports of the rioting and violence that have marred other sports victories in Chicago and elsewhere. Police stepped up patrols in key bar zones and around U.S. Cellular Field, where the White Sox play their home games.
