Sure, the Rangers’ bullpen did a high-wire act over the final three innings to protect an eventual 5-4 win over Houston in Game 2 of the AL Championship...
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi celebrates after a groundout by Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman to get the Rangers out of a bases-loaded jam to end the fifth inning in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Monday, Oct. 16, in Houston.HOUSTON – When he left the mound Monday, Nathan Eovaldi had just pitched through delicate jams in consecutive innings.
At the heart of the Rangers’ hot start has been the rotation. And at the heart of that: Eovaldi. At a time when managers pull starters earlier and earlier, the Rangers have gotten five quality starts in seven postseason games and a 2.25 ERA. They are doing this by limiting walks, which add congestion on the bases, drive up pitch counts and make most managers antsy. Rangers starters have issued four walks in 40.2 innings. Eovaldi has given up one in 19.2 innings.
“There’s really not a bad pitch that he throws,” Heim said. “He’s just tinkered with a new slider. It’s another pitch in his arsenal. It’s always evolving with him. It’s what makes him great. He will throw any pitch in any count. There is something about these kinds of games and moments that he loves. And I’m not mad about it.”Said Bochy: “You are talking about one of the elite pitchers in the game. They have that ability to turn up a notch when they have to.
