There is really no other way to put it at this point—Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager is absolutely scorching hot. With Seager reaching base and knocking in a run as a result of his first at-bat on Sunday evening against the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays, the seasoned middle infielder was at it again in the second inning en route to making some more history.

The 26-year-old Seager has now become the first player in the history of the Dodgers franchise to record five consecutive hits in a World Series.

Upon registering his first hit of Game 5 in the opening frame on Sunday evening, Seager also recorded yet another RBI, one with some historic value as well. Seager is now in sole possession of second place on the all-time postseason RBI list behind only St. Louis Cardinals legend and former big league corner infielder David Freese.

Of course, Seager encountered an updated playoff format this time around, which has led to his opportunity to produce a whopping 19 RBI this postseason. With more than one game to go in this year's installment of the World Series, Seager and his 19 RBI definitely have a shot at surprising the aforementioned Freese, who tallied 21 RBI back in 2011.

As of this writing, the Dodgers and Rays are currently knotted at two games apiece as Tampa Bay infamously came from behind en route to victory in Game 4.
