World Series

Aaron Judge says the World Baseball Classic has become baseball's biggest stage. Speaking after the U.S. beat the Dominican Republic 2-1 in semifinal, Judge said as the crowd's atmosphere: "It's bigger and better than the World Series."

The Braves needed six games to put away the Astros, and are now celebrating their first championship since 1995. Atlanta's Jorge Soler was named the series Most Valuable Player.
