The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Anaheim Angels scored 13 runs.
Well, you might not see a more definitive baseball game than that, I reckon.
The Rangers are 1-4 against the Angels on the year now. The Angels, of course, are quite literally the worst team in the sport. The Rangers meanwhile have like a 60% shot at the playoffs. Imagine what that would look like if they could beat teams like the Angels.
The Rangers had a scant three hits tonight. Were it not for pinch hitter Kyle Higashioka hitting a solo home run in the eighth inning, they would have been shut out.
Also, Higashioka pitched the ninth.
Texas waited until the eighth to get their one run despite drawing five walks off Anaheim starter Walbert Urena, who they knocked out after four innings.
Meanwhile, MacKenzie “For Five Prospects” Gore allowed seven runs in five innings as Chris Young’s great hope has become the league’s worst starter among arms who have tossed at least 100 innings this season.
After Gore exited, the Angels scored four more runs off actual Texas relievers. They scored twice off Higashioka, which doesn’t count.
The Rangers are .500 again. At least the Mariners lost.
Player of the Game:
Up Next: The Rangers and Angels close out this series in a rubber match where RHP Nathan Eovaldi is expected to make the start for Texas opposite LHP Reid Detmers who will instantly be on Perfect Game watch for Anaheim.
The Thursday afternoon first pitch from The Shed is scheduled for 7:05 pm CDT and will be aired on the Rangers Sports Network.
