Corey Seager's Historic Home Run Helps Rangers Clinch Game 1 World Series Win
A Historic Night for Seager
Seager's First Home Run Sets the Tone
In a thrilling Game 1 of the World Series, Rangers shortstop Corey Seager etched his name in history with a solo home run in the top of the 3rd inning. The two-time World Series MVP connected on a 3-2 pitch from Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez, sending the ball 449 feet to right field. The home run gave the Rangers an early 3-0 lead and set the tone for the rest of the game.
Seager's Second Home Run Clinches the Win
With the Rangers trailing 4-2 in the top of the 9th inning, Seager came to the plate with one out and a runner on base. Diamondbacks closer Paul Paulino left a 94-mph fastball over the heart of the plate, and Seager didn't miss it. He crushed the ball 420 feet to right-center field for a two-run home run, giving the Rangers a 5-4 lead. The Rangers held on to win the game, and Seager's heroic home run was the difference-maker.
Seager's Performance Continues a Historic Postseason Run
Seager's home runs in Game 1 were just the latest in a string of impressive performances this postseason. In the American League Division Series against the Rays, Seager batted .333 with two home runs and six RBIs. In the American League Championship Series against the Astros, he hit .350 with one home run and five RBIs. Seager's production has been a major factor in the Rangers' success this postseason, and he has now hit home runs in three consecutive games.
