After two exciting games, the World Series is back to where it started -- all even.
The Rangers and Diamondbacks each secured a win at Globe Life Field, and the chase for a championship has turned into a best-of-five as the series heads to Arizona.
WORLD SERIES LIVE: Follow Rangers vs. Diamondbacks updates from Game 3
Game 3 features a battle of youth and experience, as rookie starter Brandon Pfaadt gets the ball for the Diamondbacks while future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer makes his third start of the postseason for Texas.
Despite the massive gap in experience, it's Pfaadt who has been more impressive in October. The rookie has allowed just two earned runs over his last three starts, including clinching games in both the NLDS and NLCS. After an up-and-down season, Pfaadt has hit his stride and has at least one more major test to pass as the Diamondbacks pursue their first World Series in 22 years.
Can Scherzer rise to the occasion? He already got a taste of the World Series with the Nationals and can validate the Rangers' bold decision to acquire him from the Mets with a shutdown performance on Monday. The victor will be two wins away from hoisting the Commissioner's Trophy.
