As good as the Rangers pitching was yesterday (9IP, 0ER), today’s was a swing of the pendulum the other way (9IP, 8R, 4ER). Wasn’t completely horrendous, but nothing worthy of praise, either.
Rangers: 3 doubles, 3 home runs, 10 singles, 4 walks
Rockies: 2 doubles, 1 triple, 2 home runs, 8 singles, 4 walks
So there’s a pretty respectable amount of offense to go around there. I don’t have time at the moment to break down all the hits, but when there’s 20 runs and 29 hits, you can lose yourself in the box score anyway.
Bruce Chen continues to make a case to be this year’s Pedro Astacio. If he makes the club, I’ll be scared, despite his line.
