"Diamondbacks' Dominant Performance Evens World Series in Game 2"

Merrill Kelly delivers a dominant performance, pitching seven innings of one-run baseball to help the Arizona Diamondbacks defeat the Texas Rangers 9-1 in Game 2 of the World Series, evening the series at 1-1. Kelly, who took a circuitous route to the major leagues, struck out nine batters and walked none. His teammates provided ample run support, with Gabriel Moreno hitting his fourth postseason home run and Ketel Marte extending his postseason hitting streak to 18 games. The game was a stark contrast to the dramatic ending of Game 1, which saw the Rangers come from behind to win.
