HOUSTON (Reuters) - The Houston Astros have extended manager Phil Garner's contract through the 2007 season, the club announced on Monday.
Garner, who led the franchise to its first World Series this year, has a 137-99 record since taking over the club on July 14, 2004.
Garner, 56, led Houston to its first playoff series victory last season. This year, the Astros ousted the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals to win their first National League pennant.
The only World Series in the team's 44-year history was short-lived, however. The Chicago White Sox swept in four games.
