García entered the World Series red hot after amassing five home runs, 15 RBI and seven runs alongside a 1.293 OPS to earn American League Championship Series MVP honors against the Houston Astros. He has now hit homers (six total) in five straight contests dating back to Game 4 of the ALCS, and he’s hit eight homers over this postseason.
On Friday, García went 3-for-4 with the aforementioned homer and a first inning RBI single that put Texas up 2-0.

García now holds the all-time single-season postseason record with 22 RBI.
Texas shortstop Corey Seager set the table for García’s heroics by smashing a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game at five.

Seager has been amazing in the playoffs as well after a tremendous regular season, hitting four homers with eight RBI and a 1.157 OPS thus far.
His no-doubt home run single-handedly changed the narrative after the Diamondbacks jumped on Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi for five runs, including a Corbin Carroll two-RBI triple and a Tommy Pham solo home run.

But García and Seager stole the show late, and fans and analysts were in awe for their heroics.

Adolis Garcia, a former Cardinal traded to the Rangers for cash considerations, broke David Freese’s record for most RBI in a single postseason exactly 12 years to the day he set that very record against the Rangers. #GoAndTakeIt

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to suggest that between Luka’s 49 and the absurd shot he made to win the game, and the Seager and Adolis HRs to give the Rangers only their 2nd win when trailing after 8 innings that this was the greatest night in DFW Sports History.

My God, Adolis García, what have I just witnessed? Wow.
