In the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, he hit the mound with a batting average of 0.357 OPS 1.293 with five homers and 15 RBIs. Thanks to Garcia's performance, the Texas Rangers beat Houston to clinch the World Series. Garcia was named the MVP of the 2023 American League Championship Series.
Continuing his momentum, García also swung his bat in the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks best of seven games. In Game 1, he hit a walk-off home run over the right fence by pushing a 96.7-mile low sinker off Arizona's Miguel Castro in the bottom of the 11th inning with one out and no runners at the top of the game 5-5. Although he sat out the rest of the series complaining of side pain during Game 3, Texas won the World Series title with four wins and one loss. It was the first World Series trophy he acquired in 62 years. 토토사이트
