The Rangers finally got a day off from playing today. Personally, I think they more than earned it. Yesterday, they won their second series of the regular season, defeating the Reds with a score of 1-0. Two weeks into the regular season and my team is 5-2 and at the top of AL West. That’s what I love to see!
Tomorrow, they play the Rays. For now, here’s the highlights of yesterday’s game!
1-0 may not be the biggest victory in the history of baseball but I’ll take it! Coming after a night when the Reds scored 14 runs against the Rangers, I’m happy with our one to zero victory. Last night, the Reds put on a hitting clinic. Tonight, the Rangers and Nathan Eovaldi put on a pitching clinic. Eovaldi pitched a complete game shutout giving up just four hits and striking out eight. He did not walk a single batter.
Our one run, the winning run of the game, was scored by Wyatt Langford.
The Rangers are now 4-2 and practically tied with the Angels for the lead in the American League West.
Go Rangers!
I was feeling bad about missing tonight’s game between the Rangers and the Reds but then I looked at the score — 14-3, Reds — and I realized maybe it was for the best! Just looking at the numbers, it looks like the Reds put on a hitting clinic and the Rangers had no answer for it.
That’s baseball. You’re going to lose a few. Let’s hope this is just a fluke and not a sign of things to come.
Congratulations, Cincinnati!
Go Rangers!
