An extremely well pitched game. I’m writing this just as the game is ending, so I don’t have a box score yet. But the only run of the game was a home run by former Ranger farmhand Scott Podsednik. Overall a great pitching performance by the Ranger staff, something we need to see more often. Kenny Rogers went 6.2 innings, giving up just the lone run of the game. Quite quite the good start.
Not a whole lot more to write about anyway, even if I did see a box score. We didn’t have any offense the mattered (meaning runs), and our pitching was damn good, giving up just one run over 8 innings. I’ll take that any day. We just need more runs. We could have borrowed two from the earlier game today, still won that, and won this game, too. ;)
We have now lost the spring series against the Brewers 4-0. We got swept by them this spring.
It was nice to hear Eric Nadel on the radio instead of the guys from mlb.com. :)
