Tonight was a battle of starting pitchers. One is a former All-Star and eight-year veteran. The other is Jorge López. Whose odds did you like?
After last Sunday, when López gave up three homers and seven runs to Boston in four innings, you might have been forgiven for thinking, Maybe this is the last we’ll see of this guy.
Well, take everything you know about Jorge López and throw it in the toilet. He looked mostly unhittable tonight, striking out eight Rangers over four innings while leaving the rest looking very flummoxed, indeed.
