The Texas Rangers won Game 3 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a score of 3-1, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. Despite injuries to Max Scherzer and Adolis García, the Rangers remained undefeated on the road this postseason. Corey Seager, who is in the second year of a $325 million contract, hit a two-run homer, marking the hardest-hit Fall Classic homer in the Statcast era. The Rangers' strong pitching and defense kept the Diamondbacks' offense quiet for most of the game. Game 4 will take place at Chase Field on Tuesday.
Texas overcame injuries to Scherzer and slugger Adolis García in improving to 9-0 on the road this postseason.
García cut down Christian Walker at the plate with a stellar throw from right field in the second, stifling some early Arizona momentum. García exited in the eighth after appearing to hurt his left side on a swing. The 25-year-old Pfaadt had been a revelation in the postseason with a 2.70 ERA through four October starts, despite a 5.72 ERA during the regular season. He wasn't quite as good on Monday — giving up three runs on four hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings, striking out four.
Garcia — a Gold Glove finalist who has one of the best arms in the big leagues — threw a 94.6 mph rocket to the plate tho easily cut down Walker.
