On Monday, Arizona Diamondbacks fans started filling up the plaza at Chase Field hours before the first pitch at 5:03 p.m. It was, after all, the first World Series game in downtown Phoenix in 22 years.

Maybe they were there for the Millionaire Steak Sandwich. Or the return of three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer. Or, to cheer on a team fueled by players in their early 20s doing all they can do to bring a second World Series title to the Valley.

They definitely weren't there for Christian Walker's missed stop sign.

The D-backs dropped the game and dug themselves into a 2-1 hole with the Texas Rangers. But Games 4 and 5 unfold here on Tuesday and Wednesday.
