The Texas Rangers made history on a thrilling night in Dallas as they clinched their very first World Series title in franchise history.
The Rangers secured a resounding 5-0 victory in Game 5 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, sending their loyal fans into wild celebrations outside a bar in Dallas.
The game started with an impressive performance from D-backs starter Zac Gallen, who had a no-hit bid until Corey Seager of the Rangers ended it with a crucial hit.
Shortly after, Mitch Garver delivered a go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning, allowing Seager to score.
The Rangers continued to build on their lead, adding more runs in the ninth inning through a two-run RBI single from Jonah Heim and a two-run home run from Marcus Semien.
This victory became even more significant as the Rangers’ four runs tie the second-highest ever scored in the ninth inning of a World Series-clinching win, as per ESPN Stats & Information. Josh Sborz sealed the deal for the Rangers, securing the final out of the game.
One of the standout moments in the Rangers’ postseason journey was their dominant performance on the road.
They became the first team in MLB history to win 11 consecutive postseason road games and the first to win more than eight road games in a single postseason.
At the watch party held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, around 20,000 ecstatic fans erupted with joy as the Rangers sealed their victory over the Diamondbacks.
This celebration was a sight to behold, filled with hugging, screaming, cheering, and even the sound of cannon fire overhead.
