“We’re not trying to overly push it, but, yes, the division needs to know that we’ve got a new [pitching] staff and that we’re one of the best offensive teams in the league,” said first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, whose run-scoring double in the third was the linchpin to a 37-pitch, three-run inning that gave the Rangers the lead. “Being able to scratch out W’s on the road is huge, regardless of who we are playing.
Nothing explains the difference in this series — and the wins against the West — better than the remake of the starting rotation. Yes, the Rangers’ offense has been better and deeper and has, on more than one occasion, pummeled an opponent early in this season. But this series win was built on the strength of the starting pitchers outlasting Seattle’s. The Mariners featured a top tier rotation in 2022 and entered this series ranked ninth among MLB rotations in ERA at 3.
It began with Dunning, making his second start since deGrom went to the IL, struggling with his command. He walked leadoff hitter J.P. Crawford and then allowed a single to Ty France. Crawford scored on a throwing error on the play by left fielder Robbie Grossman. But, as Heim and catching instructor Bobby Wilson like to say: Helping the pitcher out is priority No. 1. So, back to that.
