Happy Tuesday, Athletics Nation!
The Texas Rangers won Game 3 of the World Series last night, putting Oakland’s division rival just two wins away from their very first World Series Championship ever.
Last night’s 3-1 win wasn’t without a cost. Starting pitcher/Future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer left the game after just three innings after an awkward comebacker might have caused another injury:
Max Scherzer left the game with back tightness. He got hit by an Alek Thomas comebacker in the back on a play that ended the second inning, proceeded to get three more outs in the third and left after throwing a warmup pitch before the fourth inning.
