Rangers Force Game 162 Behind Bottom-Order Breakout
Texas answered Friday's 10-2 disaster with a 6-2 win over Minnesota that keeps the AL West race alive for Game 162. The Rangers fell behind first, then scored four in the second and kept adding as Danny Jansen, Evan Carter and Alejandro Osuna helped the bottom of the order drive a 13-hit afternoon.
Austin gets into why that distributed production mattered, whether Osuna has earned more at-bats with the season on the line, and why Nathan Eovaldi's 4.1 innings were exactly enough. The show also digs into Robert Garcia's inherited-runner escape, MacKenzie Gore getting the ball for Game 162, and the strange appreciation that comes with meaningful baseball surviving all the way to the final day.
