Identical 2-1 wins have us one Texas win away from a Rangers-Dodgers World Series. Jo Adell tripled and scored on a Bobby Carman wild pitch in the 8th to break a 1-1 tie in the Rangers' favor as they take a 3-1 series lead, and a 2-run homer from Nate Martin off Cardinal closer Tim Manley put LA in the World Series. Fernando Tatis Jr. was named series MVP.

Texas got to Boston ace Sean Nelson for 3 runs in the 8th, including a 2-run double from series MVP Edgar Medina, and made it back to the World Series after winning it in 2032. Meanwhile the Dodgers will be looking to become the first NL winner of the Fall Classic since St. Louis beat the Angels in 2027.
