With a resounding 11–4 win in Game 7 of the ALCS, the Rangers stunned the sports world on Monday night by cruising past the Astros to advance to the 2023 World Series.
The lopsided affair saw Texas, in front of a hostile crowd in Houston, jump out to a quick lead behind a 440-foot homer from shortstop Corey Seager. The Rangers would go on to build an 8–2 lead after four innings behind four RBI from All-Star slugger and eventual ALCS MVP Adolis Garcia.
Entering the night on a postseason tear, Garcia logged three runs with singles in the first and fourth, and a home run in the third.
Adolis Garcia led a dynamic Rangers offense in Game 7 on Monday night at Minute Maid Park, as Texas cruised past the Houston Astros, 11-4, in Game 7 to win the ALCS over their in-state rival and secure an elusive berth in the World Series.
Hours before the deadline, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo agreed on a three-year, $186 million contract extension, his agent Alex Saratsis told ESPN on Monday, and the deal includes a player option for the 2027-2028 season.
The Diamondbacks rode a gem from starter Merrill Kelly and a hot start to beat the Phillies 5-1 on Monday to force a Game 7 in the NLCS.
Houston got a pitcher off suspension Monday afternoon.
Then the Astros continued their own personal two-game suspension with an 11-4 loss to Texas on Monday night after a 9-2 loss on Sunday. That’s a Texas-sized, 20-6 two-step doubleheader win by the Texas Rangers in Houston’s Minute Maid Park to take the best-of-seven series, four games to three.
Call them the Houston Rangers as they won all four of their games in Houston. Texas reached their first World Series since going for their first two times in 2010 and ’11, but they’ve never won a title.
