ESPN baseball analyst Jessica Mendoza joins A Martinez to break down the final game of the 2017 World Series.

The 2017 World Series between the LA Dodgers and the Houston Astros has been one of the most thrilling and exciting match-ups in recent history. 

The series had many record moments, including home runs hit by both teams (25 combined) and home runs by one player. Astros' Jerry Springer tied the record of 5 held by Reggie Jackson and Chase Utley, and, unfortunately for the Dodgers, first baseman Cody Bellinger had a record 17 strike outs. 

But in the end, the final score was  5-1 for the Astros.

We spoke about it with ESPN baseball analyst Jessica Mendoza.
