2023 MLB playoff bracket: Scores, results as Rangers retake World Series lead over Diamondbacks
Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on October 31, 2023
The Texas Rangers are two wins away from the 2023 World Series title. The Rangers beat the Diamondbacks in World Series Game 3 on Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Texas improved its road record to 9-0 in these playoffs with the victory, which featured another two-run home run from Corey Seager. The D-backs will host Game 4 on Tuesday at Chase Field.
The Diamondbacks and Rangers both came from behind in their LCS matchups to reach the World Series. The Diamondbacks were down 2-0 and 3-2 against the Phillies in the NLCS but won the final two games at Citizens Bank Park to oust the reigning NL champs. The Rangers took out the defending World Series champs, beating the Astros in seven games in the ALCS and coming back from a 3-2 deficit.
With the Astros’ season in the books, all of the top four seeds in the 2023 MLB playoffs have been eliminated. Three of the four top seeds in these playoffs were knocked out in the LDS round. The 104-win Braves were ousted by the Phillies, the Rangers swept the 101-win Orioles, and the D-backs took out the 100-win Dodgers. The playoff field started with 12 teams, but is now down to its final two. The Marlins, Brewers, Blue Jays and Rays were eliminated in the Wild Card Series.
