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.
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.
Houston had looked poised to return to the World Series for the fifth time since 2017 after overturning a 2-0 series deficit to lead 3-2 after game five last week. "This team's tough," Seager said. "We were never out of it. We knew what we had in front of us and we took the opportunity."Texas will face either the Philadelphia Phillies or the Arizona Diamondbacks in game one of the World Series on Friday.
Arizona will head into Tuesday's decider in a confident mood after producing a disciplined performance to frustrate the Phillies' attempt to wrap up the NLCS."The fact that we're here -- I don't think anybody thought we would even take it to game six. I don't think anybody even thought we would make it to game one... We're going to enjoy it and take it all in, but we're definitely coming out competitive and trying to win.
