Here are some fan reactions to game two of the World Series.
It started in the fourth for the D-backs. Gabriel Moreno hit a solo home run to take a 1-0 lead.
Gabriel Moreno discourse on my timeline tonight man i’m only human 💔😢

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. added to that lead in the fourth by driving in Tommy Pham.

Tommy Pham had an incredible night going 4/4.
The Rangers officially have the same amount of hits (4) as Tommy Pham in this game

Tommy Pham is the 18th player in World Series history to go 4-for-4
last: 2012 G1 Pablo Sandoval in his 3 HR game
only others in WC Era: 2007 G2 Matt Holliday, 2002 G2 Tim Salmon

But, no one had a bigger night than Merrill Kelly. The ace was absolutely exceptional.

Merrill Kelly was nails tonight- and has been throughout the playoffs. I dig watching a guy without a top shelf heater confound a powerhouse lineup. Spin it, move the ball around, hit your spots. Clinical. #GoSnakes

Merrill Kelly's performance marks the first time an investment firm has also been dominant in a #WorldSeries start.

Merrill Kelly pitched an absolute GEM tonight for Arizona. Hats off to him. Bullpen gotta throw up two more 0s up to finish this game up. #EmbraceTheChaos

The Arizona Diamondbacks offense came alive tonight. They scored nine runs. Absolutely fantastic outing all around and now they are heading back to Arizona tied 1-1.
Tacked on two more for good measure.

The Diamondbacks' 16 hits are their third-most ever in a playoff game and their second-most in a World Series game.
They had 22 against the Yankees in Game 6 in 2001.
