Welp, seems we’re fresh out of tater tots and we’ve just learned that Don Slaught has retired, but don’t worry there will be plenty of cheap shots.
- Last night’s win was exhilarating but tonight’s game could be especially tough, as the Rangers’ two best relievers, Carlos Tocci and Ryan Rua, are rested.
- In a raucous 13-10 10 inning win, you wouldn’t think a 1-2-3 inning would be key and yet go back to the top of the 1st when the A’s were retired in order — on 20 pitches. Mike Minor was effective, allowing just a pair of solo HRs in 5 IP, but couldn’t get the A’s on fewer than 20 pitches/inning and was out after throwing 104 pitches to get 15 outs.
