The MLB postseason belongs to Adolis Garcia.

The American League Championship Series MVP picked up right where he left off in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, giving the Texas Rangers a victory in an instant classic.

After driving in a record 15 runs in the ALCS, he blasted a walk-off home run on Friday night to give the Rangers a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Garcia has now homered in five consecutive games, hitting six in that span - he had two in Game 7 of the ALCS.

The Rangers were down two runs in the ninth inning, but when Arizona closer Paul Sewald walked the nine-hitter, Corey Seager launched a two-run home run to tie the game.

With the first extra-innings game this postseason, the "Manfred Man" on second base is non-existent. Rangers closer Jose Leclerc tossed a 1-2-3 10th, and Kyle Nelson walked the leadoff man in the bottom of the inning. He then induced a double play, but allowed the next two guys to reach base, bringing Seager to the dish. But he grounded out on a 2-0 pitch to bring it to the 11th.

Leclerc again retired the side in order, and the second batter of the bottom half of the 11th in Garcia went deep.

The Rangers got on the board in the first, as rookie sensation Evan Carter doubled in the first run of the World Series. The next batter in Adolis Garcia followed with an RBI single. But the snakes answered back in the third with a two-run triple by likely NL Rookie of the Year in Corbin Carroll. Ketel Marte then drove in a run on a fielder’s choice to give them the lead. In the bottom half, the Rangers drew a walk with the bases loaded to tie it right up. It was the first runs Sewald had allowed all postseason.

Tommy Pham belted a solo home run to put the D-Backs back on top in the fourth, and in the fifth, Marte tied an MLB record by extending his postseason hitting streak to 17 straight games with an RBI double. He joined Manny Ramirez, Derek Jeter, and Hank Bauer as the only players in MLB history to have a hit in 17 consecutive postseason contests.

That was the last run of the game until Seager's ninth inning heroics.

Garcia had three hits on the night - he's hitting .357 with a 1.204 OPS this postseason. He now has 22 RBI this postseason, an MLB record.

It was the first walk-off home run in the World Series since Max Muncy did so for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the 2018 Fall Classic. Ironically, Nathan Eovaldi, the Rangers’ starter on Friday, allowed that homer.

Eovaldi’s night was finished after 4.2 innings – it was his shortest outing of the postseason, as he allowed five earned. But the Rangers bullpen, which has been suspect all season, hunkered down. Dane Dunning, Cody Bradford, Jon Gray, Will Smith, and Leclerc combined for 6.1 scoreless innings in relief.

Jordan Montgomery will look to keep up his hot pitching when he toes the rubber for the Rangers in Game 2 on Saturday night. Merrill Kelly will start for Arizona. It figures to be a pitching duel, as Kelly's ERA this postseason is 2.65, while Montgomery has pitched to a 2.16 number.

Four-time NBA champion LeBron James played a total of 29 minutes in Tuesday's season opener. After the game, second-year Lakers coach Darvin Ham suggested that James' workload on was indicative of the team's plan going forward.

"It's easy with him to get caught up in the emotion of the game, and you tend to forget you want to play these long stretches, but in order for him to be as effective as possible, we have to be mindful of the minute output and how long his stretches are," Ham said.

But as the Lakers headed into the fourth quarter in their second game of the season, the team faced another deficit. Ham then had a pivotal decision to make. He had to weigh the importance of sticking with James' minutes restriction or utilize the superstar to help the team avoid an 0-2 start to the season.

Ham ultimately decided to rely on James, and the choice paid off. James played every single minute of the fourth quarter and delivered a clutch performance to help lift the Lakers to a 100-95 victory over the Phoenix Suns.

"He asked me if I could go the [whole] quarter, and I looked at the time and the score and what was going on in the game, and it was an easy answer for myself," James said after finishing with 21 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds in 35 minutes. "I know how much work I've put in to be able to play quarters or whatever the case may be. And I understand that we definitely have a system put in place, but tonight called for me to go outside the box."

James made the tiebreaking layup with 1:11 to play for the Lakers, who rallied from a 12-point deficit to get their first victory of the new season in the home opener of James’ 21st NBA campaign.

Meanwhile, Suns superstar Kevin Durant finished the game with 39 points and 11 rebounds while moving into 12th place on the NBA’s career scoring list.

But James, who reigns atop that list, stepped up with back-to-back layups in the final 90 seconds to seize the win in another memorable meeting.

"We’ve had so many battles, (and) we don’t have many matchups left," the 38-year-old James said. "Not sure how many we have left, so you don’t ever want to take it for granted when you’re out there with such a great player, one of the best to ever play this game. It’s always a treat. It’s fun."

The Lakers struggled mightily whenever James was off the court in the first half on Thursday, which likely prompted James and Ham to throw out the plan for one night. James played for a total of 23 minutes in the first three quarters.

James was sidelined with a foot injury for 27 games during the 2022-23 NBA season, but he averaged 35.5 minutes per game over his 55 appearances. He played in 56 games during the 2021-22 campaign.
