Rangers Win 1st World Series vs. D-Backs, Hyped by MLB Fans as 'Team of Destiny'

The Texas Rangers have won their first-ever World Series after defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 in Game 5 of the Fall Classic on Wednesday to earn a 4-1 series victory.

Both teams were held scoreless through six innings, with Texas going without a hit during that span against D-backs starter Zac Gallen. Nathan Eovaldi bent but never broke as he routinely got out of tough jams to throw six shutout innings and ultimately earn the win.

However, Texas got on the board in the seventh after Rangers designated hitter Mitch Garver's RBI single scored Corey Seager.

Texas held onto that 1-0 lead into the ninth before breaking it open with four runs.
