Yankees 9, Rangers 7
Yankees 9, Rangers 7
- Ugh.
- Okay, let's walk through this. Nick Martinez got the start, what with half the Rangers' preferred starting pitching options on the d.l. He couldn't throw strikes -- just 38 of them, against 46 balls -- and walked 5 batters, and yet still managed to give up just 2 runs in 5 innings of work plus two batters. Cesar Ramos came in in relief, went 2.1 IP, allowed just a run. Matt Bush finished up the 8th.
- And so the 9th inning started, Texas was up 4 runs, things looked in order.
