SAN FRANCISCO — A day after his call-up, J.P. Martínez got in on the offensive onslaught with his first major league hit and a sacrifice fly as the Texas Rangers won another game in impressive fashion against manager Bruce Bochy's former club.
“I'm so happy right now I can't explain how I feel,” Martínez said, thrilled with his teammates' support. “It was crazy, ‘congratulations, proud of you!' It was amazing.” Garver later added a two-run single. Durán also doubled and hit an RBI single as the AL West-leading Rangers reached 70 wins faster than any team in franchise history — game No. 117.On Sunday they will try for a series sweep against a Giants team that hasn't been swept at home all season.
“I just didn't pitch well. I knew I had a short leash and it was a situation there early where Boch had to go to the bullpen,” said Heaney, riding a four-game winning streak since a July 8 loss at Washington. “I'm not happy about how it started.” Cobb's winless stretch reached six straight starts during which he is 0-2 since beating Seattle at home July 5. He made the start after San Francisco used an opener in eight of the previous 14 games.Seager's 20 homers and 31 doubles in his first 74 games this season makes him just the second player since 1900 to reach 20 homers and 30 doubles through 74 games — along with Hall of Famer Joe Medwick for the 1937 Cardinals, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
