The World Series shifts to Arizona for Game 3 with the teams tied at 1-all.
If not for a late meltdown in Game 1, the Diamondbacks could be in cruise control of the MLB World Series heading home for Monday’s Game 3.
However, Arizona will take the split in Texas after routing the Rangers in Saturday’s Game 2 by a resounding 9-1 score.
Now, the D’backs return to Phoenix for the next three games and a golden opportunity to lock up the franchise’s first World Series title since 2001.
The task won’t be easy against a Rangers squad that owns a perfect 8-0 road record in the playoffs, including capturing Games 6 and 7 at Houston in the American League Championship Series.
