He entered the game batting 8-for-48 in the 2023 postseason, so the fans \u2014 after a grassroots movement \u2014 tried to pick him up with a standing ovation. It worked. Walker smashed the first pitch off the wall in right-center for a standup double. When designated hitter <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/phamth01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tommy Pham<\/a><\/strong> followed with a single to right-center, Walker \u2014 who had to wait for the ball to get through before running \u2014 tried to score from second.

With the Rangers\u2019 pitching plans drastically changed, in came Jon Gray. His only postseason start was the 2017 Wild Card Game against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. In that outing, he allowed four runs on seven hits with a double, a triple, a homer, and two strikeouts across 1 1\/3 innings. But on Monday, he exorcised the demons.<\/p>\n<p>Gray completely stymied the Diamondbacks&#8217; bats, tossing three scoreless innings. His only baserunner came on a two-out single in the bottom of the sixth by Diamondbacks second baseman <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/marteke01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ketel Marte<\/a><\/strong>. Marte extended his record postseason hitting streak to 18 games. When asked afterwards about the contrast between Monday\u2019s game and his previous postseason appearance at Chase Field, Gray said, \u201cNight and day.\u201d Gray added that it was nice to come back to Chase and leave his outing with a good feeling, but the most important part to him was helping his team out. Josh Sborz said Gray\u2019s performance was the key to the game. \u201cJon Gray absolutely dominated,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cbridging the gap\u201d set the tone for the rest of the relief corps.<\/p>\n<h3>Rangers, Diamondbacks Relievers Trade Zeroes<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, Pfaadt held the Rangers scoreless after the third, with his only blemishes being a leadoff walk to Lowe in the fifth and a one-out walk to Garcia in the sixth. Garcia was the last batter he faced, with Diamondbacks manager <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/lovulto01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Torey Lovullo<\/a><\/strong> handing the ball to Miguel Castro.

Josh Sborz faced the heart of the Diamondbacks lineup in the bottom half. After Walker grounded to second, Pham drove a single to center. But Sborz didn\u2019t let the Diamondbacks advance him, striking out both <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/gurrilo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Lourdes Gurriel Jr.<\/a><\/strong>and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/t\/thomaal01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Alek Thomas<\/a><\/strong> to quell the threat. Sborz said after the game that it felt good to get in the game. \u201cIt had been seven days,\u201d he said with a smile. \u201cI was getting kind of itchy. Wanted to be out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luis Frias pitched a 1-2-3 top of the eighth for the Diamondbacks, but the third out might have been a major long-term blow to the Rangers. Garcia flied to center, but on the swing, he doubled over in extreme pain. He exited the game with what turned out to be a left oblique injury. Rangers manager <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bochybr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bruce Bochy<\/a><\/strong> said after the game that the team would try to remain optimistic as they wait for more news. That news will come Tuesday.<\/p>\n<h3>Diamondbacks Avoid Shutout<\/h3>\n<p>The Diamondbacks finally broke through in the bottom of the eighth. Sborz took the mound, prompting Lovullo to send up lefty <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/smithpa04.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pavin Smith<\/a><\/strong> to bat for righty <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/longoev01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Evan Longoria<\/a><\/strong>.

Rivera welcomed Chapman to the game with a double to the right-field corner, bringing up shortstop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/perdoge01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Geraldo Perdomo<\/a><\/strong>. His single to left plated Rivera to make the score 3\u20131. That was all the Diamondbacks could get in the eighth, however, as left fielder <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/carroco02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Corbin Carroll<\/a><\/strong> struck out looking and Marte followed by grounding into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.<\/p>\n<p>Frias and Andrew Saalfrank combined to pitch a scoreless ninth for the Diamondbacks. Rangers closer Jose Leclerc took the hill in the ninth to pitch to the heart of the lineup. Catcher <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/morenga01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gabriel Moreno<\/a><\/strong> led off. On 1\u20130, Moreno took a slider above the knees and over the outside corner, but plate umpire Alfonso Marquez called it a ball. The count progressed to 3\u20131. Leclerc yanked a fastball at least two ball widths off the plate, but instead of it being ball four, Marquez called it a strike. Moreno grounded the next pitch to third for the first out. This drew boos from the crowd and frustrated protests from the Diamondbacks dugout. Walker and Pham followed with consecutive strikeouts to end the game and give the Rangers a 3\u20131 victory.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>Gray earned the win, while Pfaadt took the loss. Leclerc notched the save. With the victory, the Rangers take a two-games-to-one lead in the Series, which is best four out of seven.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers and Diamondbacks face off again Tuesday evening at 7 Central\/5 Arizona Time. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/heanean01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andrew Heaney<\/a><\/strong> will start for the Rangers against <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mantijo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-10-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Joe Mantiply<\/a><\/strong>.
