ARLINGTON -- The World Series Game 1 between the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks delivered an unforgettable display of baseball brilliance. Adolis García stole the show with a game-winning walk-off home run, becoming the hero of the night and etching his name in World Series history. Let's take a closer look at the key stats and facts from this thrilling matchup.

García's walk-off heroics marked the 17th walk-off home run in World Series history and the first since Max Muncy in 2018's Game 3 that went into the 18th inning. It was also only the second walk-off homer in Rangers postseason history, joining Nelson Cruz's grand slam in the 2011 ALCS Game 2.

Notably, García joined an elite group of players who hit a walk-off home run in World Series Game 1, alongside Kirk Gibson (1988), Dusty Rhodes (1954), and Tommy Henrich (1949). This was the first time since 2015 that a World Series Game 1 ended on a walk-off, adding to the game's incredible drama.

García's performance in Game 1 extended his staggering streaks in the postseason. He has now hit a home run in five consecutive games, tying him for the second-longest streak in postseason history with Daniel Murphy (2015). García is also tied with Giancarlo Stanton (2020), George Springer (2017-18), and Carlos Beltrán (2004). In addition, García has recorded an RBI in seven straight games, tying him for the second-longest streak in a single postseason, matching the likes of Murphy (2015) and Alex Rodriguez (2009). The overall record for consecutive postseason games with an RBI is eight, shared by Ryan Howard, Rodriguez, and Lou Gehrig.

Furthermore, García's two RBIs in Game 1 marked his presence in four consecutive postseason games with multiple RBIs. He joined Stanton (2020) and Reggie Sanders (2005) in achieving this feat. With 22 RBIs, García surpassed David Freese's record of 21 RBIs in a single postseason (2011). Remarkably, García achieved this in just 13 games, while Freese played 18.

Game 1 also witnessed a clutch performance from Corey Seager, who hit the 11th game-tying home run in the ninth inning in World Series history. The Rangers became the second team to have a game-tying homer in the ninth inning and a walk-off homer in extras in a World Series game, following the footsteps of the Yankees in 2001's Game 4 against the Diamondbacks.

The Rangers' comeback victory made them the first team to win a World Series game when trailing by multiple runs in the ninth inning or later since the Royals in their 2015 Series-clinching Game 5. This marked the 11th such win in World Series history. Unfortunate for the Diamondbacks, they have now suffered three losses in games where they held a lead late in the contest, the most by any team. The Oakland Athletics are the only other team with two such losses, both occurring in 1911 and 1914.

21-year-old rookie Evan Carter continues to impress, becoming the third-youngest player to record multiple extra-base hits in a World Series game. Only Andruw Jones (1996) and Juan Soto (2019) achieved this feat at a younger age. Carter's nine extra-base hits in this postseason are the most ever by a player aged 21 or younger.

On the Diamondbacks' side, their running game has been notable throughout this postseason. They recorded four games with at least four stolen bases, setting a record for a single postseason. Notably, three of those games occurred consecutively, making them the first team to achieve this in playoff history.

In a poetic return to the World Series after a 12-year hiatus, Evan Longoria made history as the fourth player to record a World Series hit at both age 23 or younger and 38-plus. He joined the ranks of Eddie Murray, Pee Wee Reese, and Willie Mays. It took Longoria 5,748 days to record his latest World Series hit on Oct. 27, 2008, marking the longest span of days between World Series hits by any player. Longoria also became the first position player to return to the World Series after a 15-year gap.

Looking ahead to Game 2, Ketel Marte's sensational 17-game hitting streak in the postseason has matched the longest streak in history, tying Manny Ramirez (2003-04), Derek Jeter (1998-99), and Hank Bauer (1956-58). Remarkably, Marte accomplished this feat at the start of his postseason career, adding another storyline to the excitement of this World Series.

Game 1 of the World Series showcased the incredible talent, resilience, and historic performances that make baseball such a beloved sport. As the series continues, fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter of this gripping postseason showdown.
