Corey Seager reflects on Rangers' insane comeback victory after clutch homer - "That is what playoff baseball is all about"

Corey Seager has reflected on the Texas Rangers' stunning win against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Globe Life Field in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday.

The Rangers came up clutch again late on to take the game away from the Diamondbacks. Seager's two-run shot tied the game in the ninth inning and forced the extra innings. His teammate, Adolis Garcia, continued his red-hot form, smoking a walk-off home run in the 11th inning to seal a 6-5 win.

Before Seager's home run, the DBacks were on pace to clinch the game 5-3, but a clutch home run from the Rangers' shortstop denied them. In a post-game interaction with Tom Verducci, the four-time All-Star said about the game and his game-tying home run:

​

​

"That was exciting, it was a fun game. This is what playoff baseball is all about. Keep grinding, it's not over till you get all the outs."

He went on to praise his teammate Adolis Garcia who blasted the game-winning home run:

​

​

"He is a very special player for us. Moments like this are special. He's done it for us all year. He's been awesome."

Corey Seager even praised the Rangers bullpen who kept it tight and got the outs.
