Ketel Marte set an MLB record by recording a hit in his 18th consecutive postseason game en route to the Diamondbacks' win in Game 2 of the World series on Saturday.
Had it been for Friday night's Game 1 miracle, the Texas Rangers would be on the road facing a 2-0 deficit. But in any case, the momentum is in the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The snakes chipped and manufactured their way to a 9-1 win in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday.
The Diamondbacks struck first with a solo homer by Gabi Moreno in the fourth inning. Later on, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit an RBI single. Texas answered back with a solo homer by Mitch Garver in the fifth, but in the seventh, Arizona got it back after leading off the inning with back-to-back doubles off Jordan Montgomery, which resulted in his exit from the game. Two batters later, Corbin Carroll added an RBI single, that run also being charged to Montgomery, to make it a three-run lead.
Chase Field will host its first World Series game since Game 7 of the 2001 World Series on Monday night. Rookie Brandon Pfaadt will look to stay hot for Arizona, while three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer will look to get hot after a slow return from injury.
