Rangers 5, M’s 0
- Even when playing out the string in a bad, disappointing season, there are games that make following your team worthwhile. This was one of them.
- It wasn’t a game that looked like it boded well for Texas. The M’s were starting Robbie Ray, the 2021 A.L. Cy Young Award winner, and while Ray isn’t having a CYA-worthy season, he’s still a lefty with good stuff who has put up a 2.5 bWAR on the year.
- The Rangers, meanwhile, were doing the much-dreaded bullpen game. Their record on the year in bullpen games was, I don’t know, 1-37 or something like that heading into Tuesday.
