The Texas Rangers scored once but the Oakland Athletics scored four times as many as that after 11 innings.
At some point as Mike Foltynewicz was allowing his gibillionth home run in his first start after the All-Star break in Buffalo, it seemed like a player who knew his time in the big leagues was coming to an end and he was just going through the motions.
Folty followed that game by allowing three more bombs against Detroit in his next start and got the dreaded vote of confidence from the org that Texas wasn’t ready to move on and further destabilize the rotation.
