2-5 - Angels offer a free win, Rangers politely decline with 9-6 loss

The Texas Rangers scored six runs but the Anaheim Angels scored nine runs.

The people who have been intentionally walked with the bases loaded to force in a run in mine and most of our lifetimes is Barry Bonds, perhaps the best player in the history of the sport, in 1998 and Josh Hamilton in 2008, when he was having his superlative first summer with the Rangers.

Well, add Corey Seager to the list.

Angels skipper Joe Maddon — of course it was Joe Maddon, just as it was with Hamilton — called for the free pass to the Rangers’ new expensive superstar to try to halt a Texas rally from getting out of hand with the score 3-2 in favor of the Rangers.
