Los Angeles
In a high-scoring game that had baseball fans on the edge of their seats, the Texas Rangers secured an 11-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, bringing them within one win of their first-ever World Series title. Star shortstop Corey Seager and Marcus Semien played pivotal roles, hitting home runs that fueled Texas’ commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Major League Baseball championship series. The Rangers faced a challenging situation earlier in the day when they received confirmation that star outfielder Adolis Garcia and veteran pitcher Max Scherzer would be sidelined for the remainder of the series due to injuries sustained in Monday’s game three win in Phoenix. However, Texas responded to this double setback with determination, launching an early offensive barrage that left them with a commanding 10-0 lead after the first three innings. The scoring began with Josh Jung, who raced home from third base after a wild pitch from Miguel Castro, giving Texas a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Semien then extended the lead with a two-out line-drive to left field, allowing Leody Taveras and Travis Jankowski to score, pushing Texas ahead 3-0. Arizona, employing a bullpen strategy on the mound, replaced Castro with Kyle Nelson, but Texas continued their onslaught. Corey Seager crushed a home run to center field, adding two more runs to make it 5-0. The game was a testament to the Rangers’ resilience and offensive prowess, and their strong performance has put them on the cusp of a historic World Series victory.
