The National League takes today off, and the A.L. series move to Minneapolis and Arlington.
The Rangers took a 2-0 lead over the Orioles when Baltimore’s pitchers issued a ghastly 11 walks and gave up a grand slam to Mitch Garver. The O’s had the best record in the A.L. during the regular season, but are now on the brink of elimination.
Meanwhile, in Houston, Pablo Lopez threw seven shutout innings and the Twins hung on for a 6-2 win that evened up their set, sending it back to Target Field with a chance for the Twins to wrap things up there.
