ARLINGTON — Sometimes the manager writes the story for you. “They got their home run with a man on,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “Ours was a solo home...
and, on the other side, thanks to a suddenly-slumping Rangers offense. Before Friday, the Rangers were 12-2 in games where their pitchers held opponents to two runs or less. Make it 12-3 now.
It has, to the dismay of the Rangers, carried over to the following series. Add Friday’s showing to the total above, and that RISP number drops to 9 for 58, or, if you prefer averages, just .155. That’s not going to cut it, especially against a starter like the one Toronto trotted out. Right-handed pitcher Kevin Gausman — an All-Star in 2021 and the current American League strikeout leader — pitched six innings of one-run ball and struck out four.
In the sixth, after a Seager double and Lowe walk, García struck out, Josh Jung flew out and Jonah Heim grounded out. There may not be a difference in approach. Slumps happen, and as Bochy once noted, the pace at which Texas had scored its run was an awfully difficult one to maintain.“Could they be pressing? Maybe,” Bochy conceded. “because they really care. They want to win. We’ll come out of this, we’ll just have to keep pushing forward and put these games behind us.”
