Plus: Tacos for everybody!
Good morning! Catch your breath ... that was only Game 1. |
|
|
| The shortstop's game-tying two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, and the emotion thereafter, woke up a sleepy Globe Life Field and propelled Texas to its walk-off victory. |
|
|
| Adolis García's RBI single in the first inning gave him 21 RBIs this October, tying the mark for most in a single postseason. His walk-off homer gave him sole possession of the record. |
|
|
| Ketel Marte's run-scoring double in the fifth extended his postseason hitting streak to 17 games, tied with three others for the longest streak by any player in postseason history. |
|
|
| This game had all of the drama you could possibly want. And with that comes plenty of fascinating context. |
|
|
| The team from Arizona proudly calls itself the "Answerbacks," and after the first game of this World Series, Texas might have to come up with something thematically catchy of its own. |
|
| | The D-backs have choices to make about how they pitch to Adolis García. And perhaps lost in last night's excitement is Ketel Marte being a hit away from history. Game 2 has plenty in store. |

Adolis García arrived home to a party. |
|
|
Ketel Marte stole only eight bases in the regular season, but his swipe in Game 1 was his third of the 2023 postseason -- and it won fans a free taco from Taco Bell. |
|
|
Even on its own, this World Series game had everything. But there's also some neat context and symmetry that ties together previous World Series history for both the Rangers and D-backs. |
| |
|
Game 1 is not only important, it's often memorable. We have witnessed a lot of entertaining Game 1 drama over the years -- including last night. |
