A walk-off win for Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series

 

The 2023 MLB World Series

Game 1



The Arizona Diamondbacks kept to their game plan in Arlington, Texas, and carried a 5-3 lead into the ninth inning. Starter Zac Gallen left the mound with the lead after five innings of work and turned the ball over to Arizona's lights-out bullpen.

This time, the bullpen falters when Paul Sewald blows his first postseason save as Corey Seager goes deep in the bottom of the ninth and ties the game at 5-5 with a two-run homer.

Fast forward to the bottom of the 11th, and Adolis Garcia ends Game 1 with an opposite-field home run into the right-field seats. The result: the Texas fans left Globe Life Field with a 6-5 walk-off win. 

Miguel Castro is saddled with the loss.  Garcia continues his assault on pitchers this postseason. Tonight, Garcia goes 3 for 4, scores a run, knocks in two runs, and steals a base.

Corbin Carroll tripled in two runs in the third inning. Tommy Pham homered for the Diamondbacks in the fourth.
