Nimmo, Duran Rally Rangers Into Tie for AL West Lead

Texas finally cashed in its traffic in a 7-3 win over Boston. Brandon Nimmo broke a 3-3 tie with a seventh-inning double, Ezequiel Duran drove home two more, and Nathan Eovaldi covered the final four innings with one-hit, scoreless relief. Houston lost, leaving the Rangers 76-76 and tied atop the AL West standings, though the Astros still own the tiebreaker.

Austin gets into MacKenzie Gore's short, injury-affected start, Skip Schumaker managing with September urgency, Josh Jung's continued impact, Joc Pederson's roster question, and what Eovaldi's dominant relief outing means for a possible October rotation. The show also works through the final 10-game path and Thursday's Sonny Gray matchup before landing on the simplest postseason idea: get in and see what happens.
