The Diamondbacks hammer Anibal Sanchez, and the Detroit bullpen is little relief in a 10-5 win that sets up a game 7 showdown in this year's World Series. Miguel Montero cracked a 2-run homer in the 2nd that gave his team a 3-0 lead. The DBacks ultimately scored 4 runs off Sanchez, and it could have been even worse if not for a first inning triple play turned by the Tigers! Arizona had 3 straight singles to start the game and had already scored a run when the Tigers turned the trick.
Detroit had pulled within 2 runs with 2 in the top of the 4th, but Arizona put it away for good in the 6th when they loaded the bases with a walk and single off Joaquin Benoit and an intentional walk of Chris Johnson by Phil Coke. Coke did that to face John McDonald, who cracked a big fly to score 4 runs and put Arizona up by 6.
Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin will reprise their game 3 matchup in a game 7 showdown. Scherzer went 9 innings in game 3 and allowed just one earned run, but was out of the game when it was decided by a Wil Nieves solo homer in the 9th.
This will be my first World Series decided in a 7th game since 2004, when the Braves beat the Red Sox. 2004, 2003 and 2001 all went the distance; all three were lost by the Red Sox to the Braves, Astros and Giants, respectively.

The game started off with Arizona taking the lead in the first plating an
isolated run on 3 hits. Offensively, Arizona was a juggernaut. They scored
in 6 separate innings.
