Had it been for Friday night's Game 1 miracle, the Texas Rangers would be on the road facing a 2-0 deficit.

But in any case, the momentum is in the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The snakes chipped and manufactured their way to a 9-1 win in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday.

The Diamondbacks struck first with a solo homer by Gabi Moreno in the fourth inning. Later on, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit an RBI single. Texas answered back with a solo homer by Mitch Garver in the fifth, but in the seventh, Arizona got it back after leading off the inning with back-to-back doubles off Jordan Montgomery, which resulted in his exit from the game. Two batters later, Corbin Carroll added an RBI single, that run also being charged to Montgomery, to make it a three-run lead.

With the bases loaded in the eighth, Ketel Marte, who entered the at-bat 0-for-4 on the night, set an MLB record, extending his postseason hitting streak to 18 games. The previous record had been 17 straight games, shared by Manny Ramirez, Derek Jeter, and Hank Bauer. Marte has also only played in 18 postseason games, meaning he has a hit in every postseason game he's ever played. 

He drove in two runs in the process, making it a 6-1 game, and Carroll singled in another run immediately after. The snakes added two more runs
