The Texas Rangers have the opportunity to become World Series champions on Wednesday. They secured an impressive 11-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 4, giving them a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. The game initially seemed like a one-sided affair, with the Rangers quickly surging to a 10-0 advantage. However, Arizona managed to claw their way back into the game, leading to the Rangers utilizing José LeClerc, their closer, in what should have been a straightforward victory.
Following a bullpen-heavy game on Tuesday, the Diamondbacks are now entrusting ace Zac Gallen to turn things around. Unfortunately, Gallen struggled in his first World Series start against the Rangers, surrendering three earned runs over five innings in Game 1. Conversely, the Rangers are counting on Nathan Eovaldi, their starter, to deliver a strong performance on Wednesday. By doing so, they hope to lessen the burden on their overworked bullpen.
Despite facing adversity in every inning of Game 4, Eovaldi managed to escape multiple tight spots, successfully preventing the Diamondbacks from scoring. In contrast, Gallen remained flawless through the first four innings, with the Rangers failing to produce a single baserunner.
