In Game 2 of the World Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Texas Rangers 9-1 and leveled the series 1-1. Pitcher Merrill Kelly dominated with seven one-run innings.
This win is a huge boost for the Diamondbacks who not only regain confidence, but also home-field advantage, with the next game happening at Chase Field, Phoenix.
The Rangers, despite having the best road record this postseason, couldn't turn the game in their favor. Expected star player, Max Scherzer will be on the mound for the Rangers in Game 3.
Rookie catcher Gabriel Moreno was a key player for the Diamondbacks, with his solo homer giving Arizona a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning of Game 2.
