The Texas Rangers ended their long losing streak just in time for a Fall Classic reunion with the Arizona Diamondbacks.The Rangers' Josh Jung scores on a wild pitch by Diamondbacks relief pitcher Miguel Castro during the second inning in Game 4 of the World Series.ARLINGTON, Texas — Everybody loves an underdog story. It’s a great time when a team no one expects makes it to the final round and wins it all. It supports the idea that any team can overcome the odds and achieve glory.
The Diamondbacks have been all or nothing, with very little in between. Over the weekend, they had a very low-scoring series, getting shut out in the opener and then mustering only four runs over the next two games against the last-place Marlins. Individually, Arizona is receiving good performances, with Ketel Marte and Christian Walker among them, but again, like the Rangers, the cohesiveness isn’t there.
If Dunning were to make the start, it would be his second since coming off the IL from a rotator cuff strain. In his first start, at Philadelphia, Dunning took 74 pitches to make it through just 3 ⅓ innings of laborious work. He had not been in a rehab game and was operating on a stricter limit. Dunning struggled and ultimately gave up five runs, however, the Texas defense did him no favors that game and only 3 were earned.
Last fall, during the World Series, both Dunning and Heaney functioned as relievers, although Heaney did make one start in Game 4 in what was supposed to be a bullpen game. Instead, as Texas took a commanding 3-1 series lead, Heaney stepped up for five innings, allowing just one Diamondback to cross the plate. Dunning, in 2.1 innings of relief spanning three outings, allowed no runs and three hits.
Nelson was one of the few DBacks hurlers to give the Rangers fits in the World Series last year, holding them to one run over 5 ⅓ innings after Game 4 had gotten out of hand in an eventual 11-7 Texas win in the game started by Heaney.
