Texas Rangers are the World Series champions for the first time in their history after another convincing win over the Arizona Diamondbacks gave them an unassailable 4-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Mitch Garver broke the deadlock with the first score of the night in the seventh before the visitors twice extended that advantage to 5-0 in the ninth inning.
First, Jonah Heim found the back wall for two runs and Marcus Semien sealed the celebrations with the only home run of the night. It took the Rangers to a remarkable 11-0 record on the road during their post-season.
Pitcher Nathan Eovaldi denied the Diamondbacks a single score for six innings and was ably assisted by relief pitchers Aroldis Champman and Josh Sborz.
The Rangers had come close to World Series glory in the past, finishing as runners-up in the end-of-season classic in both 2010 and 2011.
They looked to be crumbling late in the regular season, however, when they were beaten to the American League West by the Houston Astros, partly undone by a host of injuries.
But they beat Tampa Bay, gained revenge over Houston for the league loss and then proved deserving winners over Arizona.
The result means that Texas' Bruce Bochy is only the sixth manager in World Series history to win four titles, the latest of that quartet coming 13 years to the day after his first win denied the Rangers when in charge of the San Francisco Giants.
