The Texas Rangers are one step closer to winning their first World Series title after taking a 3-1 lead in the series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Rangers were powered by a big night from Marcus Semien, who drove in five runs, and Kyle Seager, who hit a three-run home run. The 11-7 win was the Rangers’ third in a row, and they now have a commanding lead in the series.
Semien had a huge night at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. He also drove in three runs with a bases-loaded single in the fourth inning. Seager also had a big night, hitting a three-run home run in the sixth inning to give the Rangers a 9-4 lead. He finished the night 2-for-4 with four RBIs.
The Rangers’ offense was on fire all night, as they scored in every inning except the first. They had 14 hits in total, including four doubles and two home runs. They also drew nine walks, which helped them build their big lead.
The Rangers’ pitching was also solid, as starter Lance Lynn went five innings and allowed four runs on seven hits. Reliever Joely Rodriguez also pitched well, going two innings and allowing just one run on two hits. Closer Ian Kennedy closed out the game with two scoreless innings.
The Rangers now have a commanding 3-1 lead in the series and are just one win away from their first World Series title. They will look to close out the series in Game 5 on Wednesday night. With their offense firing on all cylinders and their pitching staff doing its job, the Rangers are in a great position to take home the championship.
