A.J. Alexy‘s Texas Rangers debut last week against the Colorado Rockies was excellent. Pitching five shutout innings in your first ever big league game? It doesn’t get much better than that.
Or does it? Yeah, it does!
In his second ever big league start, the 23-year-old righty had it all working against the LA Angels in Anaheim, tossing six scoreless innings and striking out seven, while allowing just one hit and two walks.
