Garcia sends Rangers to a first World Series in 12 years

Adolis García was the key man for Texas,  homering twice and driving in five runs as the Rangers reached their first World Series in 12 years with an 11-4 win over the Houston Astros in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series on Monday night.

Corey Seager kicked-off the game in style with a long home run in the first inning. Nathaniel Lowe also went deep to give Texas its first berth in the Fall Classic since consecutive trips in 2010 and 2011.

García didn’t miss for a fourth straight game and homered, setting a record for RBIs in a postseason series with 15. He had four hits, scored three times and was no surprise to pick the ALCS MVP in a series that saw the road team win every game.
