World Series Roundup: Rangers beat Diamondbacks to clinch first championship

For the first time in their 63-year history, the Rangers are World Series champions! It took a gem of a start from Nathan Eovaldi to out-duel a similarly masterful outing from Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen — who took a no-hitter into the seventh inning — to secure his franchise’s first title. Corey Seager joins Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, and Reggie Jackson as the only four players to win multiple World Series MVPs, adding to the one he picked up with the Dodgers in 2020. Mitch Garver drove in the contest’s first run, his RBI single in the seventh the decisive blow before Texas secured some late insurance with a four-run ninth off Arizona closer Paul Sewald to end a thrilling series between two of the meteoric risers in the league.
