The Texas Rangers narrowly avoided a 2-0 deficit in Friday night's Game 1 miracle, but the momentum now lies with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks dominated Game 2 of the World Series, earning a 9-1 victory. Gabi Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. contributed early runs for the Diamondbacks, countered by a solo homer from Mitch Garver for the Rangers. However, Arizona pulled ahead with back-to-back doubles off Jordan Montgomery, resulting in his exit from the game. Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte extended the Diamondbacks' lead, with Marte setting an MLB record by extending his postseason hitting streak to 18 games. Merill Kelly delivered an impressive performance on the mound for Arizona, allowing only one run and three hits over seven innings. Montgomery, on the other hand, struggled after his remarkable postseason performance, giving up four runs on nine hits. The Diamondbacks' lineup was on fire, with every player recording at least one hit. Tommy Pham stood out with a 4-for-4 performance, while Carroll, Marte, and Emmanuel Rivera each contributed two RBIs. Game 3 will take place at Chase Field, marking the stadium's first World Series game since 2001. Rookie Brandon Pfaadt will start for Arizona, while Max Scherzer aims to regain his form after returning from injury for the Rangers.
