The Rangers pounded the Astros for a second straight evening at Minute Maid Park to rally from a series deficit and clinch their third World Series berth in franchise history.
HOUSTON — Good pitching and even better game-planning. An overpowering offense with timely hitting. An old-school manager who knows a thing or two about what strings to pull in a Game 7. Oh, and a heavyweight weapon inGarcía, competing in the playoffs for the first time in his career, added two more home runs in Game 7, bringing his postseason total to seven. He set therecord for most RBIs in a postseason series with 15, including at least one with all four of his hits Monday.
These Rangers, sporting an 8-0 record on the road this postseason, weren't messing around. Seager, playing in his third career Game 7, put his club on the board as soon as the fourth pitch of the night. Texas stormed ahead for a 3-0 lead and knocked Astros starterfrom the game in the first inning. The lineup overpowered Houston with four more runs in the fourth. That provided enough cushion to overcome its three-time Cy Young winner's abbreviated start.
Sure, they still had 18 outs with which to work. They still had plenty of time to make a comeback. Houston was down six runs to Texas at that point. It wasn't insurmountable. But that's just the picture in a vacuum. Throw in the context of what got Houston to that point, and Game 7 seemed over the minute ace Jordan Montgomery took over for Scherzer in the third inning.
