Between the end of the best regular season and the end of the longest postseason run in Rangers history, there was Matt Moore.
On the first day of the playoffs in 2011, Moore manhandled a team that had dismantled the AL West. He suffocated the Rangers under a barrage of 95-98 mph fastballs backed up with a big overhand curve and a changeup. Seven innings. Two hits. No runs.
Put it this way: Since the rise of the Rangers in 2010, eight opponents have come to Arlington and held the team to two hits and no runs over at least seven innings.
