Corey Seager continued his hot streak by hitting a three-run homer in the fifth inning, leading the Texas Rangers to a 4-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. This marked Seager’s seventh consecutive game with a home run, showcasing his impressive power at the plate.
The World Series MVP’s homer off Brandon Pfaadt proved to be the deciding factor in the game, giving the Rangers the lead for good. Seager’s hitting streak extended to 11 games, and his on-base streak reached 21 games, solidifying his status as a key player for the team.
The Rangers’ decisive inning started with singles by Jonah Heim and Travis Jankowski, setting the stage for Seager’s heroics. The pitching staff held strong, with David Robertson and Kirby Yates closing out the game to secure the win.
Despite a late rally by the Diamondbacks, the Rangers defense came up big in the sixth inning, turning a crucial double play to prevent Arizona from scoring more runs. Adolis GarcÃa’s strong throw from right field to catcher Heim cut down a runner at home plate, showcasing the team’s defensive prowess.
With this win, the Rangers improved their record to 25-29 and will look to continue their success in the upcoming games. The team faces a quick turnaround with a day game scheduled for Wednesday, where they will take on the Diamondbacks once again.
