"I just felt like I couldn't throw a strike," Detwiler said. "I got behind everybody and threw a lot of pitches up. When you're out there and just hoping you're going to throw a strike, you know it's going to be a long night."
Detwiler gave up a three-run home run to Evan Longoria in the first inning. But Carlos Peguero pulled Texas within one with a two-run home run in the fourth. At that point, Detwiler seemed to be settling down and the Rangers were poised to finish the comeback.
Then came the crucial walk that changed everything.
