Texas at Arizona, 5:03 PM PDT, TV: Fox. The Series is tied at one game apiece.
RHP Max Scherzer (0-1, 9:45 ERA postseason) starts for the Rangers; RHP Brandon Pfaadt (0-0, 2.70 ERA postseason) starts for the Diamondbacks.
- 2013 The Red Sox capture the World Championship at Fenway Park for the first time since 1918 when the team beats the Cardinals, 6-1, in Game 6 of the Fall Classic. After an 86-year drought between World Series titles, Boston has won three crowns in the past ten years.
- 2019 After beginning the season with the worst record through 50 games of any champion, the Nationals win the World Series, beating the Astros 6-2 in Game 7. The Minute Maid Park victory marks the first time in the history of the Fall Classic that the road teams were a perfect 7-0 in the series.

I suspect WBBsAs is as disdainful of golf as he is of “handegg,” so he’ll be delighted to learn that the ceremonial first pitch for Game Four will be thrown by Jon Rahm, a Spaniard who graduated from ASU and now lives in Phoenix.
Game Three’s first pitch battery was Randy Johnson and Luis Gonzalez.
Golf is a skilled game, but tedious to watch.
Rangers!
I think this thing goes seven games. Good.
Can a washed-up Scherzer hold this lead?
It seems we may have seen the last of Scherzer.
“Back tightness,” they say.
He’s done for, and Texas is paying both him and deGrom next year.
Maybe we should have kept Seager.
Best defensive position is DH. I’d sooner have Trea.
Corey!!!
Hondo, Frank Howard, the former Dodger and former Senator, has passed away.
I still remember his homer into the loge – a very rare occurrence – off Whitey Ford in 1963 Series.
