Spanish Call of Adolis Garcia's Walk-Off Home Run in Game 1 of World Series Goes Viral

Originally posted on FanNation Fastball | By Brady Farkas | Last updated 10/28/23

The Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night 6-5 thanks to a walk-off home run by Adolis Garcia in the bottom of the 11th inning.

The win moves the Rangers to within three wins of their first-ever World Series title and continues to grow the postseason lore of Garcia, who just won the MVP of the ALCS.

While any walk-off home run in the postseason is bound to be electric, this one brought with it some extra sizzle courtesy of the ESPN Latin America broadcast.

Yup, that's the stuff that postseason legends are made of right there. Garcia now has the most RBI (22) in a single postseason in baseball history. Granted, there's an extra-round of the playoffs now to accumulate stats, but it's an incredibly impressive stretch for the 30-year-old All-Star.

In addition to Garcia's dominance, the Rangers also got a game-tying two-run homer from Corey Seager in the bottom of the ninth inning which sent the game to extra-innings.

Game 2 of the World Series will be played on Saturday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington. First pitch is set for 8:03 p.m. ET as Merrill Kelly pitches against Jordan Montgomery.

Kelly is 2-1 with a 2.65 ERA this postseason while Montgomery is 3-0 with a 2.16. Kelly has some big-game experience this postseason, having started Game 6 of the NLCS. He also started the final of the World Baseball Classic for Team USA this past March.
