Texas will get the top-seeded Baltimore Orioles in a series that begins Saturday in Baltimore.
The underdog Texas Rangers keep earning October wins and now send their top starter to the mound looking to make it 2-0 in the ALDS against the Baltimore Orioles.Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery throws against the Rays during the first inning of Game 1 of playoff series game. Despite an 11-win difference between the squads in the standings in 2023, the Rangers marched into Camden Yards and picked up ain Game 1 of the ALDS.
Dunning, the man that manager Bruce Bochy had named the rotation’s MVP in 2023, was slated to pitch a potential deciding 3rd game of the Wild Card series, if it was necessary; since it wasn’t, that lined up for him to start Game 1 in Baltimore. With the gamble on essentially starting the Division Series with a bullpen game, the Rangers now set the stage for their true starters to come up and perform. The man they’re sending to the mound in Game 2 was their best starter down the stretch with Jordan Montgomery set to take the hill.
The 23-year old righty showed an ability to grow and adapt, getting better and better down the stretch, especially into September. After sporting an ERA of 7.35 in ten starts during the first half, Rodriguez enjoyed an ERA of 2.58 in 13 outings in the second half. Rodriguez’ best half of the year came after he had already faced the Rangers in the first half of the year.
Another key defensive moment came in the bottom of the 9th. With Jose Leclerc on to close, likely AL Rookie of the Year Gunnar Henderson singled to lead off the inning and was on board as the tying run. Apparently some miscommunication happened with the O’s dugout and Henderson attempted a stolen base on a 2-1 count, but catcher Jonah Heim, one of the best defensive backstops in the league, was able to throw him out and remove him from the basepaths.
Grossman has not looked comfortable at the plate all postseason, seemingly being used as a glorified decoy to bait unfavorable relief matchups. Meanwhile, Mitch Garver, who far-and-away was the better designated hitter in the last two months of the season, especially against right-handed pitching, has yet to have a plate appearance in the postseason.– None of the starters that the Rangers have faced have made it past the 5th inning.
