What is the story about?
Nationals
6, Rangers 0
- That was unpleasant.
- Its like the previous night’s game, but in reverse.
- The Rangers’ offense had four hits, one walk, and 13 strikeouts. That’s pretty terrible.
- Texas let Cade Cavalli and three relievers come into their house and eat their cheese.
- Want some positives from the game?
- Well, Kumar Rocker was okay.
- Corey Seager had two hits.
- Jordan Montgomery threw two shutout innings, giving a little flicker of hope that maybe there might be something there with him.
- That’s about it.
- I regret to inform you as well that the Rangers are now a half game back in the race for Wild Card 3. They are a game back of Minnesota, a team they almost certainly won’t have the tiebreaker advantage against.
- Still, they’re ahead of the rest of the teams fighting for WC3, so I guess that’s something.
- Kumar Rocker hit 96.0 mph with his sinker, averaging 94.4 mph. Cole Winn touched 96.2 mph with his fastball. Peyton Gray touched 95.1 mph with his fastball. Jordan Montgomery’s fastball maxed out at 91.7 mph.
- Ezequiel Duran had a 103.5 mph groundout. Corey Seager had a 101.0 mph single. Wyatt Langford had a 100.1 mph fly out. Brandon Nimmo had a 100.0 mph fly out. Joc Pederson had a 100.0 mph groundout.
- Okay, still can take the series in the finale on Thursday.
