The Texas Rangers will try to advance to the ALDS with one more win over the Rays on Wednesday afternoon on WFAA.
The Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays are back for Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series on Wednesday. You can watch the game on WFAA. Make sure to re-scan your TV if you're watching via antenna for the best possible picture.came into this Wild Card series as underdogs to the 99-win Tampa Bay Rays, a squad that held the best home record in the American League and had only lost two series at Tropicana Field since the start of August.
Although only one of the errors directly led to a run being scored, as the Rangers managed to leave 13 men on base, the gaffes by Tampa Bay made starter Tyler Glasnow’s afternoon that much longer, on a day when he didn’t have his best command. One positive sign for Texas is the velocity of Eovaldi’s pitches trended up in his final start of the regular season.
The team went 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position, leaving 13 on base. Specifically, in the top of the 5th, Texas loaded the bases on a double, walk, and single to start the frame. Corey Seager would then score on a wild pitch after a pop-out and then Texas re-loaded the bases on another walk. Two strikeouts later, though, and the wild pitch produced the only run that the Rangers could muster out of two bases-loaded, less than two-out situations.
Avoid: Using Chapman – The Rangers got seven shutout innings from starter Jordan Montgomery in Game 1 which was a boon as it allowed them to avoid using the soft underbelly of their much-maligned bullpen. However, since the game was still relatively close at 4-0 in the 8th, manager Bruce Bochy opted to use mercurial reliever Aroldis Chapman to prevent the Rays from getting back in the game.
