Thoughts on a 2-1 Rangers win

Rangers 2, Giants 1

  • I didn't get to watch this game, because I was on the road driving to San Antonio. Around the fourth inning, I started thinking, of course Martin Perez is going to throw a perfect game, or at least a no-hitter, because I'm traveling. Marteen didn't do either of those things, but he wasn't far off, either.
  • Let's get the offense out of the way real quick, first. Josh Hamilton had a 2 run home run to provide all the scoring. Mike Leake and a couple of relievers limited the Rangers to 8 hits and 3 walks, and the Rangers were 0 for 7 with RISP, meaning a bunch of stranded runners and missed opportunities that, fortunately, ended up not costing the team.
