The Texas Rangers are one win away from reaching the World Series for the first time since 2011.
With their 9-2 victory over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on Sunday, the Rangers forced a decisive seventh game in the American League championship series.
The exclamation point of Game 6 came from Cuban Adolis García, who in the top of the ninth inning hit a home run with the bases loaded to seal the victory for the Rangers.

Game 7 of the series will take place on Monday at 7 pm and will be broadcast on the FS1 network.
“This group of players is great, we have had a year full of adversity and injuries, but my players have always known how to react positively,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said after the game.
Josh Heim and Mitch Garver also hit home runs for the Rangers, who had a very good performance from their starting pitcher, Nathan Eovaldi.
Eovaldi won his second game of the series by allowing two runs in 6.1 innings.

Garver put the Rangers ahead with a solo home run in the second inning and Heim hit a two-run homer in the fourth to put the Rangers ahead 3-1.
Garcia hit a grand slam in the ninth for a comfortable margin.
This series between the Rangers and Astros joins the 2019 World Series, which Houston lost to Washington, as the only best-of-seven series in postseason history in which the visiting team won the first six games.
In Game 7, Cristian Javier is scheduled to pitch for the Astros against three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer of the Rangers.
Javier defeated Scherzer in Game 3 at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
