ARLINGTON — Andrew Heaney chuckled a little bit. “D.C. was just,” Heaney said, paused, then laughed again. “Just bad.” He said the same thing last Sunday...
to fine-tune “a couple of mechanical things.” He threw a few bullpen sessions and took Maddux’ advice on what the veteran instructor saw and felt from Heaney’s recent play.“Just really glad to have that ability to take some time over the break to get some things ironed out,” Heaney said.So if Friday night’s 12-4 win was a big one for the Rangers in the sense that it helped prove Texas’ offense could rally when handed a deficit, Saturday’s win flipped things.
The Rangers scored once in the first inning and again in the second but failed to truly capitalize on three bases-loaded scenarios in the first two innings with a collective 0-for-4 day with runners in scoring position.After a third-inning Heim walk, the Guardians retired 12 consecutive Rangers batters before a two-out Semien single in the seventh.
Cleveland starter Gavin Williams struck out Corey Seager and García in the fifth, reliever Michael Kelly struck out Josh Jung and Travis Jankowski in the sixth, and Xzavion Curry struck out Mitch Garver and Leody Taveras in the seventh. “Williams, he has really, really good stuff,” Bochy said. “Power arm, good breaking ball, occasional changeup. They’ve got a good one there. Young kid, he pitched really well, didn’t cave in. We had our chances early to put a crooked number up, but he got through and he kept them in the ballgame.”It wasn’t quite the 12-run spectacle Friday night provided. It was, however, good enough for this pitching staff on this day.
