After leading the AL West most of the season, the wild-card Rangers entered the postseason with a bullpen largely considered a weak link
Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy during the fourth inning in Game 1 of an American League Division Series baseball game against Baltimore Orioles, Oct. 7, 2023, in Baltimore, Md.For the first time this postseason, the maligned Texas bullpen had to protect a slim lead in the late innings.
The late innings weren’t all that stressful in the Wild Card Series against Tampa Bay, as Texas outscored the Rays 11-1 for a two-game sweep. It was a more nervous finish against the Orioles. Texas has been without deGrom for a while, and the Rangers left Scherzer off their ALDS roster Saturday because of shoulder problems that have kept him out since mid-September. So far, however, the Rangers’ pitching has held up.
Adolis García and Evan Carter hit consecutive doubles to put Texas up 1-0 in the fourth, and Heim followed with an RBI single.
