One way to make those awful all whites look good is for young players like Willie Calhoun and Kolby Allard to do the heavy lifting in producing a big league win to add another spark of hope for the future in Arlington.
Sprinkle in another home run from Danny Santana, some great work from a found bullpen arm like Rafael Montero for five outs, with Jose Leclerc shutting things down in the ninth, and you’ve got yourself a real nice night for Texas.
Player of the Game: Allard had the best game of his young big league career thus far as he went 6 1⁄3 innings and allowed zero runs while working around six hits by not allowing any free passes.
