The Texas Rangers are aiming to advance to the World Series for the first time in 12 years with the return of Max Scherzer 39.

Major League official media MLB said on the 17th, "Texas announced that Scherzer will make his first postseason start in Game 3 since winning Game 2 of the American League Championship Series 5-4.

Scherzer is a veteran of 457 Major League Baseball games 2834 ⅔ innings with 214 wins, 108 losses and a 3.15 ERA. He is also one of the representative aces of Major League Baseball, which boasts overwhelming pitching to the extent that he won the Cy Young Award in both leagues.

Scherzer, who signed a three-year, $130 million contract with the Mets last season, was traded to Texas as the Mets performed poorly this season. He recorded 13 wins, 6 losses and a 3.77 ERA in 27 games 152 ⅔ innings. In the postseason, he performed well in 27 games 133 ⅓ innings with seven wins, seven losses and a 3.58 ERA.

Scherzer has not been on the mound since the game against Toronto on the 13th of last month winning five scoreless innings due to injury. Texas made it to the postseason despite Scherzer's departure, but Scherzer did not appear in both the American League Wild Card Series and the Division Series. 스포츠토토

But Scherzer finally returns from the American League Championship Series against Houston. Coach Bruce Bochy said, "Sherzer is ready. That's why he starts Game 3. He came home a few days ago and threw 69 pitches against batters and the content was good. Since then, he has maintained his ball power with Stemina. It's easy to see that he can take the mound in Game 3. He wants to go out. Trust me. Scherzer said, "I'm healthy, I'm ready to take the mound," and explained that Scherzer is ready to start.

Scherzer's return to Texas, which is making a splash in this year's postseason, is like a millionaire. Texas, which finished second in the American League West with 90 wins and 72 losses but advanced to the postseason by ranking second in the wild card, beat Tampa Bay 99 wins and 63 losses, the first wild card in the wild card series, and swept Baltimore 101 wins and 61 losses, the first in the American League, with three wins in the division series. In the League Championship Series, he also preempted two wins against Houston 90 wins and 72 losses, the West Division winner, to gain an advantage in advancing to the World Series. If Scherzer leads Game 3, Texas will cross the nine-run line of advancing to the World Series.

Founded in 1961, Texas has never won a World Series title. He advanced to the World Series for the first time in 2010, but fell to San Francisco with 1 win and 4 losses, and reached the World Series for the second consecutive year in 2011, but lost three wins and four losses after a fierce battle with St. Louis, becoming a leading supporting player.

Texas, which had no connection to winning the World Series, has great momentum this fall. He has won seven consecutive postseason games with two wild card series wins, three division series wins and two league championship series wins. Fans are excited to see if Scherzer, who returned from injury, will continue Texas' sensation and pave the way to the World Series.
