ARLINGTON, Texas -- Newest bullpen pitcher Stolmy Pimentel was immediately thrown in the deep end during his Texas Rangers’ debut, a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday at Globe Life Park. And he did not sink.

The right-hander, acquired on a waiver claim from Pittsburgh on Saturday, was summoned from the bullpen with two Angels on base and 2014 American League MVP Mike Trout striding to the plate with Albert Pujols on deck.
