It was a true Wild West duel in Arlington tonight, and the Rockies nearly won. But, as we know, “close only counts in horseshoes” and the Rockies, unfortunately, play baseball and not horseshoes and they fell 2-1 in Warren Schaeffer’s managerial debut.
Dealin’ Dollander
Chase Dollander had a special night, even if it ended on a sour note. The rookie right-hander absolutely cruised through five innings, He gave up a leadoff walk to Evan Carter, but then sent down 15-straight Rangers on (##) pitches before allowing another walk to Tucker Barnhart in the sixth. That fell just short of Germán Márquez’s rookie outing of 16-straight back in 2017 against the Washington Nationals.
