Watch: Astros’ George Springer tie World Series home run record

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer sealed his legacy as 2017 World Series MVP with a two-run home run in the second inning of Game 7 on Wednesday night.

With a 3-2 count, Springer blasted the ball to center field, scoring Marwin Gonzalez.

Springer's homer was his fifth of the series and tied an MLB record for most home runs in the World Series with Reggie Jackson (1977) and Chase Utley (2009).

Springer averaged .379 in the World Series with five home runs, 11 hits, five walks and eight strikeouts.

On the previous play, Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. grounded out to second which scored catcher Brian McCann and moved Gonzalez to third.

The Astros won Game 7 over the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-1.
