Cade Cavalli struck out 11 in six scoreless innings as Washington shut out Texas 6-0 and knocked the Rangers out of the American League’s third Wild Card spot. Texas finished with four hits, Corey Seager had two of them, and Kumar Rocker allowed two runs over five before the bullpen let the game get away.

Austin gets into why the offense deserves the blame before the bullpen, what Peyton Gray’s workload says about the roster, Josh Jung and Justin Foscue’s roles, the Rangers’ lack of versatility, why 2023 comparisons do not fit, and what Jacob deGrom has to give Texas in Thursday’s series finale.
