On Thursday night the Boston Red Sox won the American League pennant, eliminating the Houston Astros in five games.
During the national television postgame coverage, TBS returned to their studio show after trophy presentations in the Red Sox clubhouse.
In a powerful moment, Pedro Martínez congratulated Red Sox manager Álex Cora in Spanish.
