Despite the early exit of starter Max Scherzer, the Rangers grabbed a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Scherzer, facing his former team, had been struck by a ball hit up the middle by the Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas in the second inning. Jon Gray, who had been considered by Rangers manager Bruce Bochy to start Game 4, entered Game 3 in relief and earned the win. The Diamondbacks had the first real scoring opportunity of the game in the bottom of the second inning, when Christian Walker led off with a double. Jose Leclerc pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning to earn his fourth save of the postseason for the Rangers, who finished with five hits.

This one won an extended Game 1 of the World Series for the Texas Rangers.

He also became the fourth player with a World Series hit at both age 23 or younger AND 38 or older.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The streaky Texas Rangers are suddenly headed the wrong way again. The Rangers won the first two in Houston and matched the Astros' 7-0 start in the playoffs last year, when Houston won its second championship. That up-and-down stretch began with Houston sweeping Texas at Globe Life Field, hitting 16 homers while outscoring the Rangers 39-10. Texas played six of its first seven games on the road this postseason, winning twice in Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Houston. Houston has never rallied from a 2-0 deficit, and will have Justin Verlander on the mound for the final game of the series in Arlington.
