The 2022 Houston Astros season was a historic campaign, delayed by a league-wide lockout that pushed Opening Day to April 7, 2022, but they quickly made up for lost time. They set a modern MLB record with a 10th consecutive Opening Day victory, and manager Dusty Baker earned his 2,000th career win on May 3, while pitchers Luis García and Phil Maton threw immaculate innings on the same day (a first) and three hurlers combined for a no-hitter against the Yankees on June 25. Finishing with a 106–56 record, they clinched their fifth AL West title in six seasons, then swept the Mariners in the ALDS and the Yankees in the ALCS to reach the World Series. In the Fall Classic against the Philadelphia Phillies, they threw a combined no-hitter in Game 4 (only the second in World Series history) and won the title in Game 6 on November 5, securing their second championship and first since 2017. Rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña took home both ALCS and World Series MVP honors, while Dusty Baker finally won his first championship as a manager, cementing the team's status as one of the most dominant in MLB history.
