Simion's Final Hit Starting Scherzer Injury Replacement

The Texas Rangers won Game 3 of the Major League (MLB) World Series (WS, four wins out of seven) with Corey Seager's home run.

Texas beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 in Game 3 of the 2023 MLB WS at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on the 31st.

Texas, which aims to win its first championship since its foundation, won the first and third games and gained an advantage with two wins and one loss in the series.

Arizona, which is trying to win the championship for the first time in 22 years since 2001, will seek revenge in the fourth game at its home turf on the 1st of next month.

Texas Seager led the team to victory in the third inning with a two-run home run, and Marcus Simion hit the winning hit.

Texas starter Max Scherzer pitched a scoreless pitch until the third inning but left the mound due to back pain.

Arizona's Heraldo Perdomo and Tommy Pham scored timely hits and multi-hit, respectively, but lowered their heads due to the batting difficulties of the rest of the batters.

In the game, Texas took the lead as it scored the first point.

In the top of the third inning, leadoff hitter Nathaniel Low got on base with a double, and Simian hit a timely hit to the left-center. Seager then pulled Arizona starter Brandon Pod's 86.7-mile (about 139.5km) changeup and hit a two-run home run over the right fence.

Arizona's batting lineup, which had been quiet due to the Texas pitching staff's good pitching, broke its silence in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Perdomo hit an RBI heavy hit in a second base chance with no outs created by pinch hitter Emmanuel Rivera's double. However, Corbin Carroll struck out with a hooking strikeout and Ketel Marte stepped down with a double play, failing to win additional points.

Texas used closer Jose Leclerc in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead.

Leclerc grounded Gabriel Moreno to third base and struck out Christian Walker and Pam in succession to end the game.
