PHOENIX (AP) — Corey Seager launched a two-run homer and made a slick defensive play in the eighth to start a crucial double play, veteran Max Scherzer combined with four relievers for a gem on the mound and the Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series on Monday night. The 29-year-old Seager once again showed he was worth every penny of his $325 million contract on the game’s biggest stage. Game 4 is on Tuesday night.
