Corey Seager has been great for the Texas Rangers during the World Series, so it’s no surprise that he delivered the big hit for his team in Game 5 at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. on Wednesday night.
Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen brought his A-game and had faced just one batter over the minimum through his first six innings. The trouble is Nathan Eovaldi matched him with zeroes on the scoreboard through six rocky innings.
But in the top of the seventh, the Rangers finally broke through against Gallen.
Seager grounded a 1-2 pitch off the end of his bat to where the third baseman would have been. Due to the Diamondbacks’ shift, the ball went through to left field for an easy single.
