Adolis García had a homer and an RBI double, Dane Dunning yielded three hits over seven dominant innings, and the Texas Rangers moved to the brink of clinching their first playoff berth since 2016 with a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
The only postseason experience of Dane Dunning's career happened three years ago when he started the decisive game of the wild-card round for the White Sox, but got pulled after only four batters.
"I haven't been thinking about it as much as trying to win the next game," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said."We'll be out there tomorrow trying to win that game." Dunning did just that, and the Rangers also got good injury news: AL batting leader Corey Seager had two hits after leaving Tuesday's game early because he was hit by a pitch in the left forearm.
"He's tough, and he showed that this year," Nevin said."Coming off a year of zero and really not much the year before, he was excited about that. He wanted that last out. He earned it."
