Adolis Garcia smashed a solo home run in the 11th inning to give the Texas Rangers a dramatic 6-5 victory over Arizona on Friday, Oct. 27, in the 119th World Series opener.
Adolis García of the Texas Rangers celebrates as he rounds the bases after hitting a home run in the 11th inning to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 in Game One of the World Series at Globe Life Field on Friday, Oct. 27, in Arlington, Texas.
"It was an exciting moment. I was just looking into the dugout, looking at my teammates. Happy. Happy." "There's no quit in us, even if we're down early," Texas slugger Evan Carter said."You can never count us out. We're going to come out on fire tomorrow.""He fired me up," Garcia said."I got so excited. I knew we could get the win.""I got lucky that it was nothing worse," he said.
Arizona led 5-3 as D-backs closing relief pitcher Paul Sewald took the mound in the ninth seeking the last three outs. Marte's double boosted his playoff hit streak, which dates to 2017, to 17 games -- matching the post-season hit streak record shared by Hank Bauer, Derek Jeter and Manny Ramirez."He beat me on a couple fastballs so I didn't want to be late on anything else. I was trying to be a little early right there," Carter said of his run-scoring hit.
