Scheurzer-Gray no runs + Seager two-run shot

The Texas Rangers, who bowed out in the second game after winning the first game, achieved their first win in Arizona. They are only two wins away from winning the first World Series in club history.

the team that took the first game of Kelly's comeback series, which shined in the second game, was Texas. Texas, which was trailing 3-5, balanced the game with Corey Seager's two-run shot in the bottom of the 9th inning and then confirmed victory in Game 1 thanks to Adolis Garcia's dramatic walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning. 먹튀검증사이트

Arizona, who lost in a close game, trusted the 'KBO reverse export legend' Merrill Kelly. Kelly, who had a starting matchup with Jordan Montgomery in Game 2, showed ace-like pitching by allowing 3 hits (1 home run), 9 strikeouts, and 1 run in 7 innings.

Before this day’s game, no pitcher had pitched 7 innings in the Major League World Series since the 2020s. The most recent pitchers to pitch seven or more innings in the World Series were Stephen Strasburg (8⅓ innings) and Gerrit Cole (7⅔ innings) in 2019. Additionally, Kelly is the first player this year to record wins in both the KBO Korean Series and MLB World Series.

- Texas: Marcus Siemien (second baseman) - Corey Seager (shortstop) - Adolis Garcia (right fielder) - Evan Carter (left fielder) - Mitch Garber (designated hitter) - Jonah Haim (catcher) -Nathaniel Rowe (first baseman) - Josh Young (third baseman) - Leody Taveras (center fielder), starting pitcher Max Scherzer - Arizona: Corbin Carroll (right fielder) - Ketel Marte (second baseman) - Gabriel Moreno (catcher) - Christian Walker (first baseman) - Tommy Pam (designated hitter) - Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (left fielder) - Alec Thomas (center fielder) - Evan Longoria (third baseman) - Heraldo Perdomo (shortstop), starting pitcher Brandon Pott in the previous game . Arizona, which scored a whopping 9 points, came out with the same lineup as the second game. The current lineup was judged to be the ‘best’. Texas also did not make any major changes. However, while Garcia was promoted to number 3, Carter's batting order was lowered to number 4. Texas' intention was to prepare for left-handed pitchers waiting in the Arizona bullpen, such as Joe Mantipley, Andrew Salfrank, and Kyle Nelson, by arranging the main batting line as right-handed batter, left-handed batter-right-handed batter. Arizona's starting pitcher has emerged as a 'victory fairy' this fall. This is his first fall baseball since his big league debut, but he is doing his part with an ERA of 2.70 in 4 games and 16⅔ innings. It is also noteworthy that the team won all four games in which the pot came out. Texas entrusted the starting role to 'Ace' Scherzer. However, Scherzer performed poorly in his last four postseason appearances. 2 runs allowed in 4⅓ innings in Game 2 of the 2021 National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Atlanta Braves, 7 runs allowed in 4⅔ innings in Game 1 of the 2022 National League Wild Card (NLWC) against San Diego, and this year's American League Championship Series (ALCS) against the Houston Astros. ) The sluggish trend continued, allowing 5 runs in 4 innings in Game 3 and 2 runs in 2⅔ innings in Game 7.

while Texas ended the top of the first inning with a three-way strike, and Arizona reached base for the first time with Marte's walk in the bottom of the first inning with one out. However, the follow-up batter, Moreno, hit a grounder to third base, resulting in a double play, ending the inning.

Texas, who passed the game with one out and a runner on base in the bottom of the first inning without allowing a run, took the opportunity in the top of the second inning with the leadoff hitter on base. Leadoff hitter Carter hit a hit to right and continued his streak of being on base in all of this year's postseason games.

That atmosphere didn't last long. Like Arizona, Texas was also hampered by double plays. Garber, who was at bat at first base with no outs, hit a ground ball toward the pitcher, and pitcher Pat, second baseman Marte, and first baseman Walker created a double play. The top of Texas' second inning came to an end as Haim retired with a fly ball.

lineup, which wanted to respond to the good pitching of Texas Pat, who succeeded in taking the lead with a big inning, shook Scherzer in the bottom of the second inning. Leadoff hitter Walker reached base with a double, immediately creating an opportunity for scoring. In addition, Pam also hit a right-handed hit on second base with no outs, and it seemed like Arizona would score the first run.

The problem came after that. Walker, who was a runner on second base, came home from third base without stopping, and right fielder Garcia made an accurate throw home. In the end, second base runner Walker, who arrived home later than the ball, was tagged out at home.

Arizona, which failed to score the first run due to excessive base running, failed to score with one out and second base. Gurriel Jr. retired with a fly ball to second base, and during Thomas' at-bat, a ground ball hit Scherzer's right elbow and headed to third base. The bottom of the second inning ended with Young getting his third out with a throw to first base.

Texas, which cried on offense and laughed on defense, clearly took the lead with a big inning in the top of the third inning. After leadoff hitter Rowe's double, Young and Taveras struck out and retired with a grounder, respectively, but Simeon hit a double to left field, guiding Rowe, the runner on third base, to home.

Seager, who appeared with 2 outs and 1st base, hit Pott's changeup on the first pitch and drew a large two-run arch that went over the right wall. Seager's fifth home run in the postseason this year. The score between the two teams reached 3-0.

Texas, which was ahead 3-0, faced a major variable. It was an injury to starting pitcher Scherzer. As the game was about to start, Shure was caught on the broadcast screen examining the nail on his right thumb. In the bottom of the third inning, there was a scene where he got hit in the elbow by a ground ball. The exact reason is back pain.

Scherzer, who wanted to keep on the mound, conducted a practice pitch before the bottom of the fourth inning, but felt uncomfortable with his physical condition. Coach Bocci also decided that it would be difficult to keep Scheer with him any longer, so he replaced the pitcher.

The card Texas pulled out was John Gray. With an ERA of 3.38 over 2⅔ innings in two games this year's postseason, it was highly likely that he would be the starter in Game 4 even before Game 3 was held. Since there were variables, Texas hoped that Gray would play many innings. He had no time to think about Game 4.

Although it was an unexpected appearance, Gray struck out leadoff hitter Moreno in the bottom of the 4th inning with a missed swing and then guided Walker to a ground ball to third base. With two outs, Pam's fly ball to center field ended the inning.

Conversely, Arizona could not respond to Gray's ball at all. In the bottom of the 5th inning, Gurriel Jr., Thomas, and Longoria all retired on base hits, and in the bottom of the 6th, Marte reached base with a single after two outs, but Moreno failed to

Pott performed his duties until the top of the 6th inning with one out and runners on first base, then handed the mound over to the bullpen. Final performance was 5⅓ innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, and 3 runs. Pott went 5 innings, unlike his previous four appearances. Looking at it another way, Arizona's bench's decision to hold the pot longer than expected was somewhat correct.

Even with Pot's good pitching, the batting line hardly woke up. Pam seemed to keep the spark alive for the first time in a while when she hit a double with one out in the bottom of the 7th inning, but Gurriel Jr. and Thomas both struck out and the runner on second base could not be brought home. The score is still 3-0.

was in the bottom of the 8th inning that Arizona put a number other than 0 on the scoreboard. When Perdomo singled to left following leadoff hitter Emmanuel Rivera's double, Rivera, the runner on second base, hit home. The score is 1-3.

As Texas had already used up Sboz, one of their most reliable cards, Aroldis Chapman had to shut out the bottom of the eighth inning. Contrary to Texas's wishes, the tide seemed to turn as they recorded their first run in two batters.

But Arizona's pursuit stopped there. Carroll struck out, and Marte defied expectations with a double play. Shortstop Seager caught Marte's batted ball and passed the ball to second baseman Simeon, and Rivera threw the ball to first base, completing a double play, breaking Arizona's will to chase. The decision did not change despite Arizona's challenge (video review) request.

Closer Jose Leclerc, who came on the mound in the bottom of the 9th inning, blocked Arizona's main batting lineup of Moreno-Walker-Pam with a three-way error, putting an end to the game. Arizona, which had several opportunities, had to take comfort in avoiding defeat.

With this victory, Texas came closer to winning the World Series. However, the physical condition of key players must be checked. If the series is prolonged, even Game 6 or Game 7 must be considered, so the recovery of Scherzer, who was responsible for one of the starting pitchers, is important for Texas. Garcia, who had been showing off his hot hitting ability this fall, also faced a crisis. Garcia felt pain in his left side while swinging with two outs in the top of the eighth inning, and was immediately replaced. Although he was relatively quiet in games 2 and 3, he is an indispensable hitter for the team as he can hit at any time. It is likely that both teams will use many bullpen pitchers in Game 4. It remains to be seen whether Texas will get one step closer to winning the World Series with two consecutive wins, or whether Arizona will balance the game again with 2 wins and 2 losses. 먹튀검증사이트 ▲Pitcher performance for both teams - Texas: Max Scherzer (36 pitches, 3 innings, 2 hits, 2 walks, 1 strikeout, no runs) - John Gray (30 pitches, 3 innings, 1 hit, 3 strikeouts, no runs) - Josh Sboz (16 pitches, 1 inning) 1 hit, 2 strikeouts, no runs allowed - Aroldis Chapman (16 pitches, 1 inning, 2 hits, 1 strikeout, 1 run) - Jose Leclerc (16 pitches, 1 inning, 2 strikeouts, no runs) - Arizona: Brandon Pott (87 pitches, 5⅓ innings, 4 ) Hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, 3 runs) - Miguel Castro (11 pitches, ⅔ innings, 1 hit, no runs allowed) - Kyle Nelson (12 pitches, 1 inning, no runs) - Luis Frias (20 pitches, 1⅔ innings, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, no runs) - Andrew Sal Frank (4 pitches, ⅓ innings, no runs)
