The Texas Rangers called in the reserves for Tuesday’s Game 4 of the World Series at Chase Field.
Arizona Diamondbacks called for any kind of help.
They didn’t get much.
The Rangers, despite losing two key players to injury, scored five runs in the second and third innings, securing a 11=7 Victory, claiming a 3-1 series advantage.
The Rangers, who continue to power past their postseason opponents and are 10-0 on the road, can clinch their first Series championship during Game 5 Wednesday.
