Rangers postseason star Adolis García exited Texas’ 3-1 win over Arizona in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night with left-side tightness after taking an awkward swing on a flyout to center field in the eighth inning.
He immediately grimaced and grabbed his lower back after making contact, and he was replaced in right field by Travis Jankowski. Texas leads the series 2-1.

Earlier in the game, Texas starter Max Scherzer departed after three scoreless innings with back tightness.
García, who was the Game 1 walk-off hero but is 0-for-6 with two walks since that homer, made a highlight-reel throw in the second inning to cut down a run at the plate.
