The Texas Rangers have been on fire in the World Series, winning 10 consecutive road games. This impressive streak is not only the longest in MLB postseason history but also the longest in the franchise’s history.

Despite missing key players like Adolis Garcia and Max Scherzer, the Rangers managed to make their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks look easy in the later stages.
Chris Young, the team’s manager, did an excellent job managing the rotation, and it paid off with a three-to-one lead in the series.
What’s truly remarkable about this achievement is that no team has ever won 10 straight road games leading up to the World Series in MLB Playoffs history.
The Rangers have reached a new level of excellence. ESPN Stats & Info confirms that this streak is not only a franchise record but also a league record.
While Garcia and Scherzer were absent in the game against the Diamondbacks, Travis Jankowski stepped up and delivered.
He got his first hit in the World Series and followed it up by scoring off of Marcus Semien’s triple. Jankowski’s contribution was crucial in securing the victory.
However, it’s important to acknowledge that Jankowski wasn’t the only key player during this road record. Garcia’s performance throughout the postseason has been outstanding, starting from their campaign against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The team then went on to dominate the Baltimore Orioles and had a nail-biting series against the Houston Astros.
The Rangers’ transformation from Wild Card fighters to serious contenders for the World Series title has been nothing short of remarkable.
They are now just a few wins away from etching their name in the history of MLB Playoffs. The question remains, can they seal the deal and secure their place in baseball history?
