Rangers’ Max Scherzer exits World Series Game 3 with back tightness in latest injury concern
[ad_1]
Max Scherzer’s night came to a quick end on Monday.
The Rangers starter threw just three innings before he exited due to back tightness, according to Fox reporter Ken Rosenthal.
Scherzer had given up two hits and struck out one batter while throwing 36 pitches before his time in Game 3 ended, with the Rangers leading the Diamondbacks, 3-0.
Scherzer had walked up the steps of the Rangers’ dugout and appeared in a bit of pain as he was going to throw his warmup pitches for the fourth inning.
Video aired on the Fox broadcast showed the former Mets co-ace grimacing in pain as he threw a warmup pitch.
Bruce Bochy and an athletic trainer went to check on Scherzer and took the ball from him.
The Rangers and Diamondbacks are currently tied at one game apiece in the World Series.
