(Reuters) – Atlanta slugger Jorge Soler was named World Series MVP after he crushed a three run home run in Game Six on Tuesday that sparked an offensive explosion that fueled a 7-0 win for the visitors.
Soler 446-foot shot in the third inning off Astros starter Luis Garcia was the Cuban right fielder’s third go-ahead home run of the seven-game-series, which was won by the Braves 4-2 to snap a 26-year championship drought.
