Adolis Garcia blasted two home runs, with Corey Seager and Nathaniel Lowe also grabbing homers as Texas romped to a victory that completed its 4-3 American League Championship Series win.
PHILADELPHIA -- The Texas Rangers booked their place in the World Series with a stunning 11-4 thrashing of the defending champion Houston Astros in Major League Baseball's playoffs on Monday, Oct. 23.
The Rangers are one of six MLB teams never to win the World Series -- but are now set to believe anything is possible after demolishing the Astros in ruthless fashion. Rangers star Seager said Texas had never doubted their ability to win the final two games of the series in Houston to advance. Arizona right-hander Kelly struck out eight batters for just one run from a Phillies line-up that had not lost at home all postseason before Monday's defeat at Citizens Bank Park.
There were signs of a Phillies rally in the bottom of the inning when Brandon Marsh doubled for J.T. Realmuto to score to make it 3-1. But Kelly then extricated himself from the jam, striking out Trea Turner with two runners stranded on base to end the inning.
