Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (5) celebrates with the World Series MVP after the Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks to win the World Series in game five of the 2023 World Series at Chase Field in Phoenix on Nov. 1, 2023.
Texas, which ended a 52-year drought since moving from Washington in 1972, secured its first Commisoner's Trophy with a 5-0 win Wednesday at Chase Field. Nathan Eovaldi worked magic once again on the mound, delivering six innings of shutout baseball.
Runs were scarce until the seventh when Mitch Garver's single up the middle scored Corey Seager to make it 1-0. The Rangers added a cushion in the ninth with an RBI single from Jonah Heim that plated two runs thanks to an error from D-backs center fielder Alek Thomas.
Marcus Semien called game with a towering two-run blast to left field before Josh Sborz secured the victory with a 12-pitch inning.
The Rangers will return to Arlington on Thursday afternoon, though no public celebration is planned for their arrival.
