The Texas Rangers pulled off a thrilling 6-5 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of their series on Tuesday night. The Rangers were down 5-3 entering the ninth inning, but they rallied to score three runs and take the lead.
The rally began with a solo home run from Avisail García. This cut the Diamondbacks’ lead to just one run. Then, with two outs and two runners on base, Kyle Seager stepped up to the plate and hit a shot that tied the game at 5-5.
The Rangers weren’t done yet, though. In the bottom of the ninth, Nick Solak hit a single to right field that scored García from second base and gave the Rangers the 6-5 victory.
The win was a huge one for the Rangers, who are fighting for a playoff spot in the American League West. They now have a 1-0 lead in the series, and they’ll look to build on it in Game 2 on Wednesday night.
García and Seager were the heroes of the night for the Rangers. García’s home run got the rally started, and Seager’s tying shot kept it going. Without their contributions, the Rangers would have lost this game.
