Manager Bruce Bochy said, “We took some more aggressive swings. We did a lot of good things coming off an ugly loss.”
Texas Rangers' Adolis García, center, scores next to Miami Marlins catcher Johnny Pereda, right, during the ninth inning of a baseball game, Saturday, June 1, 2024, in Miami. On Saturday, in a 7-0 win over Miami and lefty Ryan Weathers, the Rangers scrounged around for any and all right-handed hitters they could find and shoved them into the lineup, preferably toward the top. Runs fell from the roof of Loan Depot Park.
Teams are piling up lefties against the Rangers. They entered Saturday 8-9 against left-handed starters, but, since the start of May, the Rangers have spiraled downward against them badly. They had lost five of their last six games against lefty starters. In those six games, they scored a total of 15 runs, hit .208 and struck out in 22% of their at-bats.The problem this season so far hasn’t been pitching, as had been the fear.
It paid off. They combined to go 11 for 25 with five of the club’s seven RBIs. In the third, with two on and one out, Grossman picked a sweeper off the dirt and yanked it into the left-field corner to score Andrew Knizner. Seager went to third, then scored on García’s sac fly. Grossman would later have an RBI single.“I know I’m a good player and I know what I can do,” Grossman said. “I was just trying not to do too much and stick with the plan.
Bochy was coy about whether he was open to using this lineup again against Rogers in the series finale. But he didn’t rule out the possibility of doing it again.
