Texas Rangers Make History, Win First World Series Title in Franchise History

The Texas Rangers have won their first World Series title in their 63-year franchise history, after beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi pitched six gutsy innings, while Mitch Garver broke the scoreless tie with an RBI single in the seventh.

The Rangers had taken a 10-run lead by the third in Game 4, and finished the Series by outlasting the Diamondbacks in a pitchers’ duel through eight innings, piling on four runs in the ninth for good measure. Marcus Semien homered late, and the Rangers, held hitless for six innings by Zac Gallen, finished a record 11-0 on the road this postseason.

The Rangers’ victory marks the first time a team has gone undefeated on the road in the postseason, and the first time a team has won the World Series after losing the first two games of the series. The Rangers were also the first team to win the World Series without a home run in the series.

The Rangers’ victory is a historic moment for the franchise, and a testament to the team’s resilience and determination. With the win, the Rangers have become the first team in the franchise’s 63-year history to win the World Series.
