The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros in Game 2 of the ALCS and turn to Max Scherzer in Game 3 with a 2-0 series lead.
The Texas Rangers have been on the road for all but one game this October but they return home tonight and bring Max Scherzer along with them for Game 3 of the ALCS.ARLINGTON, Texas — Count it as seven in a row in October for Jose Leclerc, Jonah Heim, Evan Carter, and the. Leclerc has closed out all seven victories, Jonah Heim has gotten a hit in all seven victories, and Evan Carter has gotten on base in all seven victories.
Jung was charged with a tough error call on a play in the 5th that started a bases loaded, no out situation for Houston, but Evovaldi masterfully escaped trouble and Jung’s defense came through again with a crucial sliding stab for the second out in the bottom of the 9th with Jose Leclerc protecting a one-run lead.– Coming into Game 2, Heim had collected a hit in every postseason game.
Feeling good enough after his simulated start on Friday, Scherzer will be the starter in Game 3, but there’s no guarantee for what level of effectiveness he will be at given the nearly five week period of inactivity. But the Rangers traded for him at the deadline for exactly these moments. Overall in the postseason, the 39-year-old righty has a 7-7 record in 27 games with a 3.58 ERA.
Opposing Scherzer will be Cristian Javier, who had one of the Astros’ victories in the Division Series against the Twins. Javier’s regular season was a severe regression from the outstanding 2022 campaign. Javier became more hittable, striking out far fewer batters and seeing his ERA leap by two full runs.
