The Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night 6-5 thanks to a walk-off home run by Adolis Garcia in the bottom of the 11th inning. 

The win moves the Rangers to within three wins of their first-ever World Series title and continues to grow the postseason lore of Garcia, who just won the MVP of the ALCS.

While any walk-off home run in the postseason is bound to be electric, this one brought with it some extra sizzle courtesy of the ESPN Latin America broadcast.

Watch it below:

Yup, that's the stuff that postseason legends are made of right there. Garcia now has the most RBI (22) in a single postseason in baseball history. Granted, there's an extra-round of the playoffs now to accumulate stats, but it's an incredibly impressive stretch for the 30-year-old All-Star.

In addition to Garcia's dominance, the Rangers also got a game-tying two-run homer from Corey Seager in the bottom of the ninth inning which sent the game to extra-innings. 

Game 2 of the World Series will be played on Saturday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington. First pitch is set for 8:03 p.m. ET as Merrill Kelly pitches against Jordan Montgomery.

Kelly is 2-1 with a 2.65 ERA this postseason while Montgomery is 3-0 with a 2.16. Kelly has some big-game experience this postseason, having started Game 6 of the NLCS. He also started the final of the World Baseball Classic for Team USA this past March.
