It was a historic night in Phoenix. The Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-0, to capture the first World Series title in franchise history. Shortstop Corey Seager also made history of his own, becoming only the second position player in MLB history to win the World Series MVP Award for a second time.
Seager was essential to the Rangers series win, making an impact at the plate even when he didn’t make contact. Over the five games of the Fall Classic, he batted .286/.375/.762 with three two-run home runs. Each was clutch. The first tied up Game 1 in the ninth inning. The second put Texas ahead early in Game 3.
