Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer was slated to start Game 3 of the World Series, and despite some tough appearances so far this postseason, was able to make it through three innings unscathed. However, Scherzer's fourth inning did not go as planned.

Scherzer left Game 3 in the fourth inning, soon to be replaced by Jon Gray in Arizona. Given Scherzer's age and recent injury history, it's right for Rangers fans to be concerned about his long-term health.
