We’re about to tell a story focusing on the Rangers’ bullpen and their involvement in a game outcome in 2023. This one has a twist: It doesn’t involve teeth-gri...
“We’ve been on the other end,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “So it’s good to come in here and play really good, crisp baseball. What a job they did.”There was a point, however, when at least Thursday’s game was in question. When it was, the Rangers bullpen made a big difference. They provided 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and a pair of walks.bridged things from Nathan Eovaldi, still ramping up after six weeks on the IL, to the seventh.
And in the game’s biggest at-bat, José Leclerc, after allowing the tying run to reach on a walk, overpowered Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a 96 mph fastball in on his hands. Then the humblest guy in the bullpen stood on the mound in exultation.Advertisement “I think we were all pretty excited,” catcher Jonah Heim said. “His fastball was electric tonight. I didn’t see the velocity, but it stung. You saw the swings against it. But that was a big moment. Big moments in big games just hit differently.”Here’s how it hit: Immediately after escaping the seventh-inning jam, the Rangers responded with five runs in the top of the eighth.rookie Evan Carter
. Marcus Semien doubled in a run. When Toronto intentionally walked new AL OPS leader Corey Seager , who had three hits and three RBIs in his first three at-bats, Nathaniel Lowe followed with a two-run single. And on-base machine Robbie Grossman took a bases-loaded walk. It was one of 10 walks the Rangers drew on Thursday.
“We’ve had some really good at-bats,” Bochy said. “You look at how they’re showing the patience. They aren’t expanding the zone. If they don’t get their strikes, they will take the base on balls and move it to the next guy. It’s really throughout the order.”It was the Rangers’ first sweep in Toronto, where their last playoff dreams went to die, since 2008. And that was just a two-gamer. To find one of at least three games, you’d have to go back to 2002. It’s been a while.
