The Houston Astros won their first World Series in franchise history with a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.

Houston struck early, scoring two runs in the first inning off Dodgers starter Yu Darvish, then chasing him in the second after scoring three more runs, including a two-run homer by center fielder George Springer.

It was Springers fifth home run of the Fall Classic, tying a World Series record shared by Reggie Jackson of the 1977 New York Yankees and Chase Utley of the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies. (Utley is now on the Dodgers .)

He also set a World Series record with 29 total bases.

That performance earned him the World Series MVP award.
