To the victor goes the spoils. And the ability to troll.

The Astros stopped the Yankees postseason march Saturday night with a 4-0 victory in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series in Houston. The pitcher who closed the Yankees out in Game 7 decided to have some fun with their signature celebration during the champagne and cheap beer-soaked celebration in the home clubhouse at Minute Maid Park.

That’s Lance McCullers Jr. in the middle flashing the thumbs down. He’s flanked by Game 7 winner Charlie Morton and Game 1 winner Dallas Keuchel.

Morton went five innings and McCullers tossed four in relief to earn the save. They combined on a three-hitter to snuff out a potent Yankees attack in the Baby Bombers’ third winner-take-all game of this postseason.

The Yankees had adopted the thumbs down as the go-to ‘look to the dugout after a big hit’ celebration. It caught on after one stoic Mets fan was caught on camera giving the Yankees a thumbs down while they played the Rays at Citi Field during a series moved to Queens from Florida because of Hurricane Irma.

If you saw any of the Yankees’ postseason games this season, you probably already know this background story in vivid detail because each of the broadcast crews covering the team has told and re-told the story several times over.

Here’s guessing the next time McCullers returns to the Stadium next season, there will be plenty of Yankees fans who offer the Astros hurler a different type of one-fingered greeting.
