Rangers Take World Series Lead as Scherzer Exits with Back Injury

The Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 in Game 3 of the World Series, taking a 2-1 series lead. Max Scherzer exited the game with back tightness after three innings, but Jon Gray stepped in and delivered three brilliant innings of relief. Corey Seager and Marcus Semien drove in all three runs for the Rangers, while a base-running mistake by Christian Walker and strong pitching from Texas kept the Diamondbacks from gaining momentum.
