The first two games of the World Series had been close matches with back and forth from both teams. Despite only a single run being scored in the first game, many believed that it would be a game that would go down in history as one of the most exciting 1st games of a World Series.
The second game had seen a lot more scoring, but Detroit had managed to eek out a close victory once more. This was why many analysts and fans were expecting the 3rd game to be similar.
So when the final scoreline of 9-0 was reached at loanDepot park, the whole baseball world was shocked.
Not only had Miami played well, they had essentially toyed with Detroit from the beginning. They managed to score 3 of their 9 runs in the opening inning, instantly putting the Ligers on the back foot.
