The Texas Rangers will be out to continue their business-like approach Saturday night when they face the San Francisco Giants on the road in the second contest of a three-game series.
Texas manager Bruce Bochy pushed all the right buttons, but mostly watched Jon Gray, Nathaniel Lowe and Mitch Garver do the heavy lifting in a 2-1 victory Friday night in his first return to San Francisco's Oracle Park after having spent 13 years there as the Giants' manager.
With Gray throwing seven shutout innings and Lowe and Garver providing all the needed offensive support with back-to-back solo homers in the sixth inning, the Rangers won for the ninth time in their past 10 games. Saturday's scheduled starting pitcher, left-hander Andrew Heaney , has led the way in two of the Rangers' past nine wins. He hasn't allowed a run in either of his two August starts, a 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox and 6-0 triumph over the Miami Marlins.
