On October 25th, 2020, the Texas Rangers faced off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series. Unfortunately, the Rangers’ starting pitcher, Max Scherzer, was forced to exit the game due to back tightness.
Scherzer had been dealing with back issues throughout the season, but this was the first time it had caused him to leave a game. He had pitched four innings and allowed two runs before being pulled.
The Rangers were already down 2-0 in the series, and this was a major setback for them. Scherzer is one of the best pitchers in baseball, and his absence was felt immediately. The Dodgers took advantage of his absence and scored seven runs in the fifth inning to take a commanding lead.
The Rangers are hopeful that Scherzer will be able to return for Game 4, but they are preparing for the worst. If Scherzer is unable to pitch, they will have to rely on their bullpen to get them through the game.
It’s a difficult situation for the Rangers, but they are still confident that they can win the series. They have a deep lineup and a strong bullpen, and they are determined to make the most of their opportunity.
Only time will tell if Scherzer will be able to return for Game 4, but one thing is certain: his absence has put the Rangers in a difficult spot. They will need to find a way to overcome this setback if they want to win the World Series.
