Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer is set to start Game 3 of the World Series for Texas against Arizona. The Rangers will be the third team he has started for in a Fall Classic. Scherzer had missed more than a month because of a muscle strain in his shoulder before starting twice in the AL Championship Series against the Houston Astros. He exited the pennant-clinching Game 7 last Monday with the lead after allowing two runs in 2 2/3 innings. Rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt will start Game 3 for the Diamondbacks. The 25-year-old has a 2.70 ERA with no decisions in four postseason starts, all won by the Diamondbacks.
