The Texas Rangers didn’t score a run but the Seattle Mariners scored seven runs.
Andrew Heaney was a pitch away from getting out of the first inning today when he threw a 3-2 strike to Randy Arozarena that was called a ball which turned a two-out single by Justin Turner into a certified jam that became an entire afternoon-changer when his former batterymate Mitch Garver smacked a three-run home run.
Andrew Heaney and a three-run deficit. Yeah, that’s not going to work. Not for one of baseball’s least supported pitchers in 2024. And indeed, the Ranger bats were more than happy to take a nap through the rest of this one as they mustered not just no runs in another Heaney outing, but all of one hit total against George Kirby, who seems to annually have their number.
