The Rangers won their first World Series in franchise history winning the series in five games against the Arizona Diamondbacks…closing the series out on the road in Arizona. The Rangers were dominant on the road going the whole playoffs without losing a game away from home…as perfect 11-0.
The most amazing part about this World Series is that they won both games four and five without right fielder Adoils Garcia who won ALCS MVP for them and was their best player before the World Series; he also hit a walkoff home run in Game 1 of the World Series. The Rangers also were able to pull off a win in Game 3 with their star starting pitcher Max Scherzer only being able to pitch three innings and leaving with an injury.
The MVP of the Series was Corey Seager who hit three home runs and had six RBIs and a 1.137 OPS. The Ranger had pretty tough opponents throughout the postseason until the World Series. They played the 99 win Rays, the division winners and 101 win Orioles, the Astros who have been to the last seven ALCS series, and also the D-backs who went on a surprise run but were a very good team. The Rangers were great and should be very proud of this World Series run and will look to replicate next season.
