Thoughts on an 8-3 Rangers win

Rangers 8, Royals 3

  • Once again, the Rangers are within striking distance of .500.
  • Jon Gray cruised through seven innings, allowing just one run, due in part to his inducing three double plays. The one run that he gave up was on a two out RBI single by Bobby Witt, Jr. that scored Whit Merrifield from second. Witt ended up going to second on a balk before the inning ended. Those were the only two Royals runners to make it as far as second off of Gray.
  • Gray went almost exclusively with his fastball/slider combo, using those two pitches about 90% of the time.
