Final thoughts

Well, the 11-7 final score is exactly how I expected a bullpen game between two World Series-caliber teams to go, but the way we got here was a bit anticlimactic as the Rangers took a massive early lead and it was never really in doubt. Pitcher Andrew Heaney was the key for Texas as he put in five quality innings while the Rangers offense did its thing. Now, Texas can win its first championship as soon as tomorrow.

The Guardian will indeed continue its live World Series coverage for tomorrow's Game 5. Right now, that’s scheduled to be a match between Texas’s Nathan Eovaldi and Arizona’s Zac Gallen. However, this will be the end of today’s liveblog, thanks to everybody who followed along with us today and, honestly, everybody who has followed along with all of us throughout the years. Ciao!
