11-11 - Walks continue to bite Rangers in 5-2 loss to Atlanta

The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Atlanta Braves scored five runs.

I was going to write about how Nathan Eovaldi’s six walks continued a problematic stretch of free passes by Ranger pitching so far this season — they are one of only six teams that are walking four or more per nine innings and you can add seven to the total tonight — but then Rangers used Austin Pruitt in a one-run game and he turned it into a three-run loss in exactly two pitches so why bother, you know?

Player of the Game: I suppose it’s probably Jon Gray who came on in relief of Eovaldi and tossed 1 23 innings of spotless baseball with four strikeouts on what was his scheduled bullpen throwing day because the Rangers are desperate for innings at the moment.
